Original text of "Five Ancient Poems" in Chinese Lesson 15 of the first volume of seventh grade:
1. Viewing the Sea (Eastern Han Dynasty) Cao Cao
To the east is the Jieshi, in order to observe sea.
Where is the water? The mountains and islands are standing tall.
There are many trees and lush grass.
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.
The journey of the sun and the moon would appear within it;
The stars would shine brightly, as if they would appear within it.
Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition.
2. At the foot of Cibeigu Mountain (Tang Dynasty) Wangwan
The guest travels outside the green mountains and sails in front of the green water.
The tide is flat, the banks are wide, the wind is blowing and the sail is hanging.
Hai Ri is born and the night is over, and Jiang Chun is entering the old year.
Where can I get my hometown letter? Return to Yanluoyang.
3. Spring Tour of Qiantang Lake (Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
To the north of Gushan Temple and to the west of Jia Pavilion, the water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low.
Early orioles are vying for warmth in several places, and new swallows are pecking at the spring mud.
The wild flowers are becoming more and more charming, and only in Asakusa can there be no horse hooves.
My favorite lake is the east side of the lake, with its green poplar shade and white sand embankment.
4. Xijiang Moon (Southern Song Dynasty) Xin Qiji
The magpie is startled by the bright moon, and the cicadas sing in the middle of the night in the breeze.
The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good harvest,
Listen to the sound of frogs.
Seven or eight stars are outside the sky,
Two or three points of rain are in front of the mountain.
In the old days, by the forest of Maodian Society,
I suddenly saw it when I turned around the head of the stream.
5. Thoughts on the pure sky and sand in autumn? (Yuan Dynasty) Ma Zhiyuan
Withered vines, old trees and dim crows,
Little bridges and flowing water, people’s homes,
The ancient road has a west wind and a thin horse.
The sun sets in the west,
The heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
