Pre-Qin Dynasty: Anonymous
What happened tonight?
Today, I must be in the same boat with the prince.
Shame, shame, shame.
My heart is restless.
There are trees in the mountains and branches in the trees.
I don't know.
What a night tonight, wandering by the river. What day is it today? I'm in the same boat as the prince. I feel deeply wronged. I am not ashamed of my meanness. I'm confused. I can see the prince. There are trees on the mountain and trees have branches. I like you in my heart, but you don't know it.
2. "Altair"
Han Dynasty: Anonymous
Distant Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan girl.
Skillful hands, make a loom.
Tears fall like rain all day long;
The river is clear and shallow, how much is the difference!
Between water and water, there are no words.
Look at the distant Altair, the bright Vega. The weaver (Weaver Girl) stretched out her slender white hand, fiddled with the loom (weaving) and made a firm knitting sound. I didn't knit a piece of cloth all day, and tears rained down.
The Milky Way looks clear and shallow, fiddling with the loom (weaving) and making a weaving sound. Although there is only a clear river, they can only stare with emotion, but they can't talk in words.
3. "Recent Spring"
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Flowers wither and red apricots are small. Swallows fly, green water people go around. Small catkins are blowing on the branches There are many fish in the sea.
Inside the wall, outside the wall, there is a layman, and inside the wall, there is a beautiful woman laughing. The laughter died away, and so did the sound. Affectionate but heartless chagrin.
Spring is coming to an end, flowers are dying, and green fruits have grown on apricot trees. Swallows fly across the sky, and clear rivers surround the villagers. The catkins on the willow branches have been blown less and less, but don't worry, lush grass can be seen everywhere.
There is a girl on a swing inside the wall, and pedestrians outside the wall can hear her. The girl gave a beautiful laugh, and slowly, the laughter in the fence was not heard, as if she had been hurt by a heartless girl.
4. Five Thinking Poems, Part IV
Tang Dynasty: Yuan Zhen
Once I tasted the vast sea, I felt that the water in other places was pale; Once you have experienced the clouds in Wushan, you feel that the clouds elsewhere are eclipsed.
Hurried through the flowers, lazy to look back; This reason is partly because of the ascetic monk, and partly because of who you used to be.
I have been to the seaside, and there is not enough water in other places; Clouds in other places are not called clouds except Wushan Mountain. Hurried through the flowers, too lazy to look back; This reason is partly due to the abstinence of monks and partly because you have had it.
5. Su Muyin (Blue Sky and Yellow Leaf Land)
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
Blue sky, yellow leaves, autumn colors, cold smoke, green waves.
The mountain reflects the setting sun and the sky meets the water, and the grass is ruthless, even outside the setting sun.
Dark homesickness, thoughts of chasing travel. Every night unless, sweet dreams make people unable to sleep.
The bright moon tower is lonely, and the wine turns into sorrow and tears.
Blue sky and white clouds, yellow leaves on the earth. Autumn scenery is reflected on the blue waves on the river, and the water waves are glowing with cold smoke and green. The distant mountains are bathed in sunset, and the sky is connected with rivers. The grass on the shore seems heartless, beyond the setting sun.
It is sad to miss my hometown silently, and it is difficult to get rid of lingering worries. Unless you have a good dream every night, you can get a moment of comfort. The bright moon shines on tall buildings, so don't lean on it alone. Pick up the wine to wash your sorrow, but it all turns into acacia tears.
