1. The autumn light of silver candles paints the screen coldly, and the small fans flutter against the flowing fireflies. ?The night in Tianjie is as cool as water. I lie down and watch Altair and Vega. (Du Mu's "Autumn Eve?")
Translation: On the autumn night, the candlelight illuminates the painting screen, and I hold a small fan in my hand to beat the fireflies. The stone steps are as cool as cold water at night, and you can sit quietly in the palace and gaze at the stars Altair and Vega.
2. If you don’t know what the morning glory means, you must invite the Weaver Girl to weave a golden shuttle. I beg for cleverness in the world every year, but I don’t know that there are already many cleverness in the world. (Yang Pu's "Qixi Festival")
Translation: What would have happened if the Weaver Girl hadn't seen the Cowherd? I am willing to weave with the Weaver Girl. I look forward to spending every year like this, but in fact, there are so many such things in the world? It just didn't happen to me.
3. The cold autumn light of silver candles paints the screen, and the pavilion is quiet on a blue sky and a clear night. Spider silk cuts through the embroidery needle, dragon and musk deer burn the golden cauldron. Celebrating the Chinese Valentine's Day. Lying down and looking at Altair and Vega, the moon turns over the shadow of the sycamore trees. (Lu Zhi's "Drunk in the East Wind·Chinese Valentine's Day")
Translation: The light emitted by the silver candlestick illuminates the painting screen, sitting quietly in the pavilion on a clear night. Women were begging for skill with embroidery needles threaded with spider silk, and dragon and musk were burned in golden cauldrons. People were celebrating the Chinese Valentine's Day, lying down to watch Altair and Vega meet on the magpie bridge, and the moon drifted across the sycamore trees and cast their reflections.
4. A magpie bridge stretches across the sky, and thousands of jade pendants pass by. There are still guests who have been there for many years, but the disappointment is not as good as the river drum star. (Xu Ning's "Qixi Festival")
Translation: A small bridge built by fairy magpies lies across the vast Milky Way. Listen to the jingling of Weaver Girl's rings and watch her crossing the bridge in style. The separation between Yi Ren and I will never stop year after year. I looked up in despair and saw the Altair star still shining, its eternal glory unchanged; my sadness gradually became less obvious.
5. Look at the blue sky tonight on Chinese Valentine's Day, the morning glory and the weaver girl crossing the river bridge. Every family begged for luck and looked at the autumn moon, wearing tens of thousands of red silk threads. ? (Lin Jie's "Begging for Skills?")
Translation: On the evening of the Chinese Valentine's Day, looking at the blue sky, it is like seeing the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting each other on the Magpie Bridge across the "Tianhe". Every household is watching the autumn moon and begging for skill (threading a needle on the moon), and there are tens of thousands of red threads crossing it.
6. On a good night with two stars, if you are lazy in farming and weaving, you should be jealous of all the immortals. Sister Juanjuan Yue's eyebrows are full of wrinkles, and she is even more helpless, and the wind is blowing the rain. Meeting each other hastily, arguing as if we have never seen each other again, disturbing the mood of separation again. The new joy is not as good as the old sorrow, but adds to it, and the new sorrow goes away. (Fan Chengda's "Magpie Bridge Immortal Qixi Festival")?
Translation: Tonight is a good time for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet. The couple who met are too lazy to be busy with farming and weaving. The lonely fairies are about to become jealous: the beautiful Sister Moon frowns, and Aunt Feng stirs up the wind and rain, and the heaven and earth are abnormal. Meeting each other is in a hurry, and a brief reunion is worse than not seeing each other again, stirring up the sadness of parting again. The joy of meeting is never as much as the sorrow of long separation. On the contrary, it adds new sorrow to bring back to taste.
7. It’s dark in the morning in Beipu, and sad in the middle of the night. The magpie's poem threads the moon, and the flowers enter the exposure building. There is a golden mirror in the sky, and a jade hook in the world. Su Xiaoxiao in Qiantang is even more worthy of autumn. (Li He's "Chinese Valentine's Day")?
Translation: The Milky Way is hidden on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and I feel sad in the middle of the night when I am alone in my tent. The black magpie leaves and threads the moon, and the fireflies fly into the clothes-drying building. When the two stars of Ox and Woman come together and separate, lovers in this world look at the Jade Hook. Missing Su Xiaoxiao from Qiantang, I was alone and lonely for another autumn.
8. The crickets sing in the grass. The sycamore tree fell in shock. There is so much sorrow in the world and in heaven. The clouds, the moon and the earth are locked with thousands of layers of locks. Even if they come and go, they will not meet each other. ?The magpie rides on the star bridge, we only see each other after many years. If you want to leave, don't hate it, it's hard to be poor. Morning Glory and Weaver Girl are nothing but Li Zhong. It will be sunny for a moment, rain for a moment, and windy for a moment. (Li Qingzhao's "Xingxiangzi·Qixi Festival")
Translation: Crickets were chirping sadly in the grass, and the sycamore leaves at the tips seemed to be frightened by the sound of crickets and fell. From the scene in front of me, Reminiscent of the sad season on earth and in heaven. In the starry sky above the clouds and the moon, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were blocked by thousands of barriers and could not meet each other. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl only meet briefly once a year. The rest of the time, they are like floating boats in the vast galaxy, swimming around and never meeting again.
The Magpie Bridge may not have been built yet, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl may still not be able to meet each other in the separation. I guess the Magpie Bridge has already been built by this time, but the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl may not be together yet. Depending on the weather, the weather is uncertain. The sudden wind and rain must have hindered the meeting of Cowherd and Weaver Girl again!
