One

I comb my white hair to add new hatred, and you sweep the moth to reduce the old capacity.

people should be strange and melancholy, and teenagers should meet each other when they leave.

Secondly,

When we meet after a long separation, all doubts are in a dream.

Author's brief introduction

Bai Juyi (772 ~ 846), whose name was Letian, was named "Xiangshan Jushi", was a poet of the Tang Dynasty in China. Born in Gongxian County (now Gongyi, Henan Province) in the seventh year of Dali in Tang Daizong, his ancestral home was Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, and he died in Wuchang for six years. Zhenyuan Jinshi, the official to the school book lang, praised the doctor, and later demoted Jiangzhou Sima because of Prime Minister Wu Yuanheng. During the reign of Changqing (821 -824), he was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou, and in the second year of Baoli (825), he was transferred to the secretariat of Suzhou, and later served as the prince Shaofu. Because Bak Yan was attached to the party, he was transferred to the east. In the second year of Huichang, he became an official with the minister of punishments, and finally died in Xiangshan, Luoyang. Bai Juyi is an advocator of the New Yuefu Movement, with his incisive articles, especially his poems, approachable works and an old woman's understanding. In his later years, he released Italian poetry wine, nicknamed "Mr. Drunken Yin". At the beginning, he paid tribute to Yuan Zhen, nicknamed "Yuan Bai", and was also named "Liu Bai" along with Liu Yuxi. There are 2 volumes of poems in Changqing Collection, 17 volumes of poems in Houji Collection and 2 volumes of Addendum to Bieji Collection.
