Zhang Ji [Tang Dynasty]
The annual autumn wind blows to Luoyang city, and my wandering son doesn't know how his relatives in his hometown are; Writing a letter to peace has too much to say and I don't know where to start.
When the letter is written, I am worried that I have not finished what I want to say; When the messenger started, he opened the envelope and gave it to him.
Translation:
The autumn wind blows gently in Luoyang, and my thoughts are surging. I want to write a letter to greet peace.
I was worried that I didn't write anything in time, so I opened the envelope again before the messenger was about to leave.
2. "beginning of spring Day"
Yu Qian [Ming Dynasty]
Last year, my hair grew new, and I hurried to welcome spring again.
Close the bottom of the river and leave the guests empty? Time is merciless and never lends.
One inch of red heart is a picture of serving the country, and two lines of tears are homesick.
Lonely and intense, it is difficult to entertain, and the golden plate is full of spices.
Translation:
Year after year, white hair keeps growing,
In a hurry, another spring has come.
Why did you keep me in the frontier for so long?
Time is too cruel, and age never forgives people.
I don't forget my loyalty to my motherland.
I can't help crying at the thought of my dear relatives.
Loneliness is too exciting to be ignored,
Just put together a five-Xin plate and talk about the scene of the Spring Festival.
3. "Langtaosha Toast to the East Wind"
Ouyang Xiu [Song Dynasty]
Drink Dongfeng and relax. Chuiyang Mozi Luocheng East. At that time, I always held hands and traveled all over the Champs.
It is endless hate to gather and disperse in a hurry. The flowers this year are better than those last year. It's a pity that the flowers will be better next year. Who do you know?
Translation:
Raise a glass to pray for the east wind. Please stay a little longer and don't leave in a hurry. The path in the eastern suburb of Luoyang is covered with willow branches. Most of them are places where we went hand in hand last year. We walked all over the colorful flowers.
Suffering from the short meeting and parting of life, the resentment of parting has been stirring in my heart for a long time. This year's bonus is better than last year's, and next year's flowers will definitely be better. Unfortunately, I don't know who I will go with then.
4. "Linjiang Xian, send the king"
Su Shi [Song Dynasty]
I have forgotten Chengdu for more than ten years, but I have to think twice because of your arrival.
Farewell today, please bring my sad tears back to my hometown and sprinkle them on the river. I don't know whether my hometown is good or not. I have been wandering for a long time, and I am not in my daily life, lonely and indifferent.
Translation:
I have forgotten Chengdu for more than ten years, but I have to miss it again and again because of your arrival. Today's farewell, please bring my sad tears back to my hometown and sprinkle them on the river. I don't know the beauty of my hometown I have been wandering for a long time, and I am a lonely guest at the end of the world.
5. Dream of the 20th day of the first month of Jiang.
Su Shi [Song Dynasty]
Ten years of life and death are two boundless, disapproving and unforgettable.
A lonely grave thousands of miles away, desolate and nowhere to talk about.
Even if we don't know each other, our faces are dusty and our temples are frosty.
Translation:
It's been ten years since I said goodbye to you, but it's still hard to forget. Lonely graves are thousands of miles away, and there is nowhere to tell the sadness in my heart. Even if you meet me, I'm afraid you won't recognize me. I'm travel-stained, and my sideburns are like frost.
