Anonymous [Tang]
Dry stars shine on wet soil, and it will rain tomorrow.
Clouds travel to the west, stars shine on the mud.
Don't go out at sunrise, but go to Wan Li Road at dusk.
It's going to rain, and pigeons want to chase women.
Translation:
The starlight shines on the wet earth, and it will rain tomorrow. Clouds drift to the west and stars shine on the earth. The morning glow did not appear, and the sunset glow sprinkled on the earth. It's going to rain soon, and the pigeons are chasing and playing.

A brief introduction to The Whole Tang Poetry;
The Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty is the largest collection of poems in China, which was compiled in the early Qing Dynasty, with a total of 900 volumes, and was written in the forty-fifth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1706). The Complete Tang Poetry contains 49,403 poems and 1555 sentences written by 2,873 authors. Cao Xueqin's grandfather, Cao Yin, ordered the publication and engraving of The Whole Tang Poetry. The book is based on Hu Zhenheng's Tang Yin Tong Qian in the Ming Dynasty and Tang Poetry in the Qing Dynasty, and consists of fragments, biographies and miscellaneous books. The Whole Tang Poetry is a collection of poems and songs of the Tang Dynasty, which provides great convenience for researchers. However, due to the hasty completion of the book, there are many problems such as omissions, wrong collection, chaotic arrangement and inattention to the source. In the book, the works of the emperor and empress are the first, followed by the music movement and Yuefu. The poets in the Tang Dynasty are arranged in chronological order, followed by couplets, Yi sentences, ladies, monks, Taoist priests, immortals, ghosts and celebrities.
An overview of pronouns in Tang and Five Dynasties;
Ci is a new poetic style with music as the carrier, which emerged in Tang and Five Dynasties. The earliest common word in Tang Dynasty was Dunhuang Quzi Ci. Literati Ci began in the middle Tang Dynasty, and there are Li Bai's Bodhisattva Man and E, Zhang's Yu Gezi, Wei's Douxu, Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi's Yi Jiangnan and so on. , are relatively early works. Early literati ci has a wide range of themes and short forms, and is generally characterized by freshness, clarity and liveliness. In the late Tang Dynasty, there were more and more literati and the art became mature. Wen has the greatest influence. The theme of diction tends to be sentimental, the content is delicate and the words are too elaborate. For example, "Bodhisattva Man, with numerous overlapping, is destroyed by gold", "Looking at the south of the Yangtze River from a distance, refreshing, and leaning on the Wangjiang Tower alone". In the Five Dynasties, Zhao Chongzuo edited the Painting, which was headed by Wen and mainly composed of poets from Western Shu. The content was rich in feelings and sadness, and the form pursued algae decoration. Only Wei Zhuang's ci has beautiful language and a little content, such as "Sidi Township, spring outing, apricot flowers blowing on my head" and "Bodhisattva Xia, everyone says Jiangnan is good". In addition, the words of Niu Xiji and Li Xun also give people a fresh and cheerful feeling. Five pronouns were concentrated in Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the important poets were Feng Yansi, Li Jing and Li Yu. During the Tang and Five Dynasties, Feng Yansi left more than 65,438,000 words, most of which were pronouns. Writing more about leisure and spring worries, the language is fresh and smooth, inheriting and developing the style of graceful words, which has a great influence on Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu and others in the Song Dynasty. There are four poems left by Li Jing, all of which have a strong sentimental sentiment. Li Yu was originally a monarch in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In his early days, he mainly wrote about the luxurious life of the court. After the Song Dynasty, most of what he wrote was hatred for his home country, and he felt deeply. For example, in Yu Meiren, when is the spring flowers and the autumn moon, the waves scouring the sand, the rain outside the curtains and so on. In art, painting wins, the language is clear, the artistic conception is beautiful, the image is vivid, and the specific feelings of life are expressed, which changes the style of Huajian Ci, accumulates new experience in the creation of Ci, and opens up a new realm, which plays an important role in the history of Ci development.
