"Chang 'an is a stranger to infinite trees, and only young people can try to leave." Nine poems by Yang Liuzhi written by Liu Yuxi, a writer in the Tang Dynasty.
Excerpts from the original text:
Outside the city, the spring breeze blows the wine flag, and pedestrians wave when the sun is shining.
Chang 'an is a stranger to Infinite Tree, and only Yang Wan can leave.
Light and graceful occupy the years, and dance halls are everywhere.
Once spring is over, you can't stay. Who will go with the wind?
Translation:
The spring breeze outside the city blew the flag of the hotel, and it was time for pedestrians to say goodbye to the sun. There are countless beautiful trees on Chang 'an Road, and only the willows send their love for each other.
Wicker is light and graceful, and has a beautiful life. Dance halls and makeup buildings are everywhere under her cover. In spring, catkins can't stay in the air, but fly away with the wind. I don't know whose home they are.

Writing background:
Nine Poems by Yang Liuzhi should be written by Liu Yuxi in his later years. The old saying was written by Liu Yuxi when he was in Daiwa, Tang Wenzong for six to eight years (832-834). But according to the poem, the scenery of Chang 'an and Luoyang is not Suzhou's work. The style of this group of poems is not as strong as that of "Treading Songs" and "Zhi Zhu Ci" in xiang yuan and Bayu periods.
Yang Liuzhi's nine poems are all about willows. It skillfully applies the posture, charm, emotion, stories and customs related to willow to the chanting of willow. The poems are full of profound feelings, varied customs, harmonious sound and rhyme, beautiful and full of charm, which makes people interested in singing.
These nine poems were written directly in folk tunes, which kept the pure folk flavor and improved the artistic level of folk songs. They are not only rich in ideological connotation, but also easy to sing, which brings out the best in elegance and popularity and reaches a higher artistic level. This is exactly Liu Yuxi's creative goal of imitating Qu Yuan.
Liu Yuxi (772-842), Han nationality, was born in Pengcheng (now Xuzhou) in China in the Tang Dynasty. His ancestral home was Luoyang, a writer and philosopher in the Tang Dynasty. He claimed to be a descendant of the King of Mountain Scenery in Hanzhong. He used to be a supervisor and member of the Wang Reform School.
