1. Lyrics of Lime
- Yu Qian/Ming
Thousands of hammers have been dug out of the mountains, and the fire is burning if it is idle.
I'm not afraid of broken bones and muddy bodies. I want to leave my innocence in the world.
Interpretation: Limestone can only be mined from deep mountains after being hammered for thousands of times, and it takes burning with blazing fire as a very common thing.
I am not afraid even if I am shattered, and I am willing to leave my innocence in the world.
2. Bamboo Stone
- Zheng Xie/Qing
Insisted that the green hills were not relaxed and the roots were originally in the broken rocks.
you're still strong after thousands of blows, and you're free from the east, west, north and south winds.
translation: firmly insist that the green hills are not relaxed, and originally they are deeply rooted in the crevices of the stone.
you are still strong after thousands of blows, and you can blow the east, west, north and south winds.
3. The Storm on November 4th
- Lu You/Song
The lonely village is not mourning for itself, but still thinking about defending the country.
Lying in the dead of night listening to the wind and rain, the Iron Horse Glacier falls asleep.
I am lying upright in a lonely and desolate village, not feeling sad about my situation, but thinking about defending the frontier for my country.
As the night was drawing to a close, I was lying in bed and heard the sound of the wind and rain. I dreamt in a daze that I rode a war horse in armor across the frozen river and went to the northern battlefield.
4. Untitled
- Li Shangyin/Tang
time was long before I met her, but is longer since we parted, and the east wind has arisen and a hundred flowers are gone.
and the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die, and every night the candles will weep their wicks away.
mornings in her mirror she sees her hair-cloud changing, yet she dares the chill of moonlight with her evening song.
There are no multiple routes from Pengshan to oh blue-birds, be listening!-Bring me what she says!.
It's a rare opportunity to meet each other, and it's hard to leave each other. Besides, the weather in late spring, when the east wind is about to close, makes people feel even more sad. ?
silkworms don't spit out silk until they cocoon to death, and wax oil like tears can only drip dry when candles burn to ashes.
In the morning, the woman dresses up in the mirror, only worrying that her rich sideburns will change color and her youthful appearance will disappear. Men can't sleep at night, so they must feel Leng Yue's aggression.
the other party's residence is not far from Penglai mountain, but there is no way to pass, just beyond my reach. I hope there will be a messenger like a bluebird who will visit my lover and pass on the news for me diligently.
5. Passing through Lingdingyang
Song Dynasty: Wen Tianxiang
Once he had a hard time, he was lonely.
the mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and the life experience is ups and downs.
fear is said on the beach, and there is a sigh in the ocean.
who hasn't died since ancient times? Take the heart of Dan and shine on the history.
Translation
Looking back, I went through a lot of hardships in my early years when I entered the imperial examination, and now it has been four years since the war ceased.
The country is in danger, just like catkins in a strong wind, and the ups and downs of one's life are like duckweed drifting without roots in the rain.
I'm still scared by the fiasco at Fear Beach. It's a pity that I'm alone in Yuan Lu.
Who can live forever since ancient times? I want to leave a patriotic heart that reflects the history.
