Lu you
Lonely lamp Geng Shuang Xi, poor mountain reading art
Wan Li devoted his whole life to being the predecessor of the King.
All the soldiers who died in battle were ashamed to go back to their wives.
Success is met, and politics is self-defeating.
Malignant hunger, time deceives poor Confucianism.
Sigh in the mirror and your skin will grow.

Reference translation
A solitary lamp illuminates the autumn night brightly, and I read Sun Tzu's Art of War carefully in the mountains.
My lifelong wish is to go to the border of Wan Li and fight for my motherland with weapons in hand.
It is the duty of a man with lofty ideals to die in battle, and it is his shame to be with his wife and children.
Whether you can make contributions to your country depends on opportunities. Predicting the future is too pedantic.
People everywhere are hungry and cold, and time flies, which makes poor Confucianism deeply worried.
Alas, the face in the mirror is aging day by day, how can rust keep plump and moist skin forever!

At that time, the vast area north of Huaihe River was occupied by Jin people, and great rivers and mountains fell. The political power of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was in a corner of peace, ignored the lost land, succumbed to peace and did not seek recovery. Poets like reading the art of war, practicing martial arts and fencing since childhood, and have the desire to help the world and recover lost land. However, when he took part in the does examination, Qin Gui, a powerful minister, was relieved of his post for opposing gold, so he had to return to his hometown of Yin Shan and live in Yunmen Mountain Caotang.

He witnessed many difficulties and was caught in bad luck, and deeply felt the difficulty in realizing the ideal of driving out the enemy and saving the people. I was so angry that I wrote this poem
