1. Living in seclusion in early summer
Song Dynasty: Lu You
The Weng family is placed in the scenic spot of the lake and mountain, where the wild paths are sloping in the shade of locust trees and willows.
When the water is full, you can sometimes watch herons, and there are frogs croaking everywhere in the deep grass.
The dragon has overgrown its bamboo shoots, but the wooden pen is still in bloom.
Sigh, old friends come and go, who will drink tea in the afternoon when you come to sleep.
Translation:
The land of lakes and mountains is my home, with quiet paths under the shade of locust trees.
When the lake is overflowing, egrets are flying, and frogs are everywhere on the grass growing on the lakeside.
The new bamboo shoots have already matured, but the wood pen flowers have just begun to bloom.
We didn’t meet each other back then. When I dreamed about tea at noon, who was talking about those days?
2. Farewell to Chuyong's Yanzhong
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Asking about the Yanzhong Road, the southeast refers to Yuexiang.
The boat went from Guangling, and the water entered the Kuaiji Chief.
The color of bamboo is green under the stream, and the lotus is fragrant in the mirror.
I bid farewell to Heavenly Grandma, and lay on the autumn frost while brushing against the stone.
Translation:
I asked you about the way to Yanzhong, and you raised your hand to point to Yue Di in the southeast. Taking a boat from Yangzhou to the south, the long flowing water leads to Kuaiji.
The stream is clear, shaded by clumps of green bamboo. The water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the reflection of lotus flowers, and emitting bursts of fragrance. I say goodbye to you and go to Tianmu. Shaking off the stone dust, I will lie high in the frost and dew of autumn.
3. Farewell to the Song Dynasty in Jiangxia
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
The water of Chu is as clear as the sky, and the blue sea leads to it in the distance.
Thousands of miles apart, people are happy in a cup.
The valley bird sings in the sunny day, and the river ape whistles in the evening breeze.
I will never shed tears in my life, but I will cry endlessly here.
Translation:
The water in Chudi is crystal clear and seems to be empty, directly connected to the sea in the distance. You and I will be thousands of miles apart, but our interests will be the same in the glass of wine in front of us.
The valley bird keeps chirping when the weather is clear, but the apes on the river bank wail late into the evening. I have never cried in my life, but now I can't stop crying.
4. Jiangcun
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
The Qingjiang River embraces the village, and the Changxia River Village is quiet.
The swallows in the hall come and go, and the gulls in the water are close to each other.
The old wife draws paper to make a chess game, while the child knocks needles to make a fishing hook.
But if there are old friends offering Lumi, what else can a tiny body ask for?
Translation:
The clear river flows around the village in twists and turns. During the long summer, everything in the village looks elegant. The swallows on the beams fly around freely, and the white gulls in the water are close to each other and accompany each other.
The old wife is drawing a chessboard with paper, and the younger son is tapping a needle to make a fishhook. As long as I have some money and rice from my old friends, what else can I ask for?
5. Chasing the coolness on summer nights
Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli
The heat at night is still the same as the heat at noon, and the moon is bright when the door is opened.
Where the bamboos are deep and the trees are densely populated with insects, there is sometimes a slight coolness that is not the wind.
Translation:
The weather is hot at noon in summer, but I didn’t expect it to be so hot at night. Open the door and stand under the moonlight for a while.
At this time, the chirping of insects came from the bamboo forest and trees in the distance, and waves of cool feeling came to us. However, this is not the wind, maybe it is the quiet coolness of nature?
6. Watching the harvesting of wheat
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
The Tian family has few free months, but in May people are twice as busy.
At night the south wind blows, and the wheat is covered with yellow.
The women and aunts carry baskets of food, and the children carry pots of pulp.
They go with them to the salary fields, and the young men and women are in Nangang.
It is full of heat and rustic weather, and the sky is scorching on my back.
I am exhausted and don’t know how hot it is, but it is a pity that the summer is long.
There is a poor woman with a child beside her.
She is holding an earring in her right hand and a basket hanging on her left arm.
Hearing his words of care makes those who hear them feel sad.
My family’s farmland has been exhausted, so I’ll just throw it away to satisfy my hunger.
What merit do I have now? I never did farming or mulberry farming.
The official salary is three hundred stones, and there is more food every year.
I feel ashamed when I think about this, and I will never forget it.
Translation:
Farmers rarely have free months, and people are even busier in May. A southerly wind blew during the night, and the wheat covering the field ridges had matured and turned yellow.
Women carry meals in bamboo baskets, and children carry water in pots. They follow each other to the fields to deliver meals. The men harvesting wheat are all in Nangang.
Their feet were fumigated by the heat from the ground, and their spines were basking in the hot sunshine. Exhausted, it’s as if I don’t know the weather is hot, and I just cherish the long summer. I also saw a poor woman standing next to the wheat cutter with her child in her arms.
She was holding picked wheat ears in her right hand and a broken basket hanging on her left arm. Listening to her talk while looking at others, everyone who heard her felt sad for her. Because of the rent and taxes, all the farmland in the family was sold, so they had to pick up some ears of wheat to satisfy their hunger.
Now that I have any merits and virtues, I don’t have to engage in farming and sericulture. He received a salary of 300 shi meters a year, and at the end of the year there was still some food left.
I felt secretly ashamed when I thought of these things, and kept thinking about them all day and all night.
7. Wanqing
Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin
Living deep in Foujia City, spring is gone and summer is still clear.
God takes pity on the quiet grass, and the world is clear at night.
Also add high pavilions and small windows.
After the bird's nest is dry, its body becomes lighter when it returns.
Translation:
A man lives a quiet life in seclusion. Looking down at Jiacheng, spring has gone and summer is clear. The grass was soaked by the rain, but finally received God's love, and the sky cleared after the rain. Climbing up to the high pavilion and leaning on the railing, you can see the sky and the sky are vastly different, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window lattice. The nests of the flying birds have been dried out, and their bodies have regained their lightness.
8. Summer Pavilion
Tang Dynasty: Gao Pian
The green trees are dense and the summer is long, and the tower is reflected in the pond.
The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, filling the courtyard with roses and incense.
Translation:
The green trees are lush and dense, and the summer is long, and the reflection of the balcony is reflected in the pond. The water curtains were shaking in the breeze, and the roses on the shelves filled the courtyard with fragrance.
9. Four Seasons
Wei and Jin Dynasties: Tao Yuanming
Spring water fills the surrounding areas, and summer clouds have many strange peaks.
The autumn moon shines brightly, and the winter ridge shows the cold pines.
Translation:
The middle of winter has passed, and a pool of spring water overflows the fields and swamps. The clouds in summer are unpredictable, most of them rise suddenly like strange peaks, and the autumn moon shines brightly in various shapes.
Under the bright moonlight, all the scenery is cast with a layer of blurred colors. A cold green pine on the high mountain in winter shows full of vitality.
10. Lotus Picking Song
Tang Dynasty: Wang Changling
The lotus leaf skirt is cut in one color, with hibiscus blooming on both sides of the face.
You can't see anyone entering the pool, but you can only feel someone coming when you hear the song.
Translation: The green skirt of the lotus-picking girl blends into the fields of lotus leaves, as if one color, and the girl's face is hidden among the blooming lotus flowers, reflecting each other. He disappeared into the lotus pond and only realized someone was coming when he heard singing.
