Zheng Sixiao in Song Dynasty
Flowers can't bloom, and independent fences are not poor.
Instead of blowing incense into the north wind, it is better to hold it in the branches and wait for death!
Translation:
You bloom in autumn and never accompany flowers. Alone by the sparse fence, your sentiment and interest have not diminished. I would rather die in the branches than in the cold north wind!
Lyrics of lime
Yu Qian in Ming dynasty
It can only be extracted from the deep mountains after being struck by thousands of hammers. It regards the burning of the burning fire as a very common thing.
Broken bones and muddy bodies are not afraid, but only innocence remains in the world.
Translation:
(Limestone) can only be mined from the deep mountains after thousands of hammering. It regards the burning of blazing fire as a very common thing.
Even if it is shattered, it is not afraid. It is willing to leave a clean body in the world.
Takeishi
Zheng Xie in Qing Dynasty
Bamboo is not relaxed at all, its roots are firmly embedded in the cracks in the rocks.
After thousands of tortures and blows, it is still strong, whether it is the southeast wind or the northwest wind in winter, it can bear it and will still be tough and straight.
Translation:
Firmly adhere to the castle peak and not relax, originally deeply rooted in the crevices. After many trials and tribulations, the bones are still strong and can blow the east and west and the north and south winds.
Ode to history
Li Shangyin in Tang Dynasty
Looking at the countries and families of former sages, they became thrifty and extravagant.
Why should amber be used as a pillow, and the real pearl is a car?
If you don't meet Qinghai horse, it's hard to pull out the snake in Shushan.
Several people sang songs in the south in advance, and finally Cangwu cried for Cui Hua.
Translation:
Throughout history, every wise country's success comes from thrift, and its decline comes from luxury.
Why do you have to use amber as a pillow? Why is it easy to ride with pearls?
I wanted to travel far, but I didn't meet a maxima. It is difficult for me to pull a fierce snake in Shushan alone.
How many people have heard Shun Di's Nanfeng Song? Only in Cangwu can I cry to Cui Hua Gai.
Mo mei
Wang Mian in Yuan Dynasty
The first tree in my Xiyan Lake is light ink.
Don't boast about the good color, just let the air be full of dried Kun.
Translation:
A plum blossom growing in Xiyan Lake seems to be a trace of no bright color left after washing the pen with light ink.
It doesn't need others to praise its color, but only cares about filling the faint fragrance between heaven and earth.
Poetry in Beijing
Yu Qian in Ming dynasty
Spaghetti mushrooms and incense are harmful to people.
The breeze swept through the air with two sleeves so as not to interfere with Yamaraja's brief conversation.
Translation:
Native products, such as silk handkerchief, hemp mushroom, thread incense and so on. It should have been enjoyed by ordinary people themselves, but it was looted by officials, which brought disaster to the people. In order not to be gossiped by the people, I went to Beijing empty-handed to see the emperor.
