3. Presented to Wang Guiyang
Southern and Northern Dynasties: Wu Jun
When the pine trees grew a few inches, they were lost to the grass. I haven't seen the heart of the cloud, but I don't know that I have the bones of frost.
Weak stems can be destroyed, and slender stems can easily fall apart. Why should I be thousands of feet long and cover the bright moon for you?
Translation: A young pine was buried by overgrown weeds just after it was unearthed. Without being able to see its ambition to gather clouds, who would have known that it has the pride to not be afraid of frost and snow. Weak branches may be damaged at any time, and slender stems and leaves may be easily insulted. You should let it grow into a towering tree to protect you from the cold and heat.
4. Gift to his younger brother
Wei and Jin Dynasties: Liu Zhen
There are pines on Tingting Mountain and a stroke in Sese Valley. How loud is the sound of the wind, how strong are the branches of the pine trees.
The frost is miserable, but the whole year is always upright. Wouldn't it be cold? Pines and cypresses have their own nature.
Translation: Pine trees stand tall on the mountains, and the wind howls in the valleys. How fierce the wind is, and how strong the pine branches are! No matter how miserable the sky is with frost, the pine tree's waist will remain straight all year round. Could it be that the pine trees were not exposed to the severe cold? No, it’s the pines and cypresses that are naturally cold-resistant!

Since I was a child, I have been thorny in the deep grass, but now I am gradually aware of the basil. ?
At that time, people did not know the Lingyun tree, and they waited until Lingyun began to rise.
Translation: When the pine tree was young, it grew in very deep grass, so deep that it could not be seen. But now I realize that it has grown much taller than the basil. People in the world do not recognize that this is a tree that will reach the sky in the future. They do not recognize its majesty until it has already reached the sky.
