Bai Juyi must recite the following ancient poems:
1. "Farewell to the Ancient Grassland"
When the grass grows in the original land, it dries up every year. Wildfires never burn out, but spring breezes blow them again.
The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green meets the deserted city. I also sent the king and grandson away, full of love.
A famous saying through the ages: Wild fire cannot be burned out, but the spring breeze blows it again. Creation background: "Farewell to the Ancient Original Grass" was written in 788 AD (the third year of Zhenyuan of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty). The author was sixteen years old at the time.
2. "Peach Blossoms of Dalin Temple"
The beauty of April in the world is over, and the peach blossoms of the mountain temple are beginning to bloom. Everlasting regret has no place to return to in spring, and I don’t know where to turn.

Creation background: During the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi, who was born as a Jinshi, was awarded the title of Secretary Provincial Secretary.
3. "Recalling Jiangnan·Jiangnan is good"
Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is familiar to me. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan?
Eternally famous saying: When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire; when spring comes, the river is as green as blue.

4. "Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake"
To the north of Gushan Temple and to the west of Jia Pavilion, the water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low. In several places, early orioles compete for warmth in the trees, while new swallows peck 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 part of the lake is the east side of the lake, where the green poplar trees shade the white sand embankment.
Eternally famous saying: As wild flowers gradually become more attractive to the eye, only Asakusa has no horse hooves. Creation background: In July of the second year of Changqing reign of Emperor Mu Zong of Tang Dynasty (822), Bai Juyi was appointed as the governor of Hangzhou.
5. "Ode to the Dusk River"
A setting sun spreads over the water, half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red. It's a pity that on the third night of September, the dew looks like pearls and the moon looks like a bow.
Eternally famous saying: Poor night on the third day of September, the dew is like pearls and the moon is like a bow. Creation background: This poem was written by Bai Juyi on his way to Hangzhou to serve as governor in the second year of Changqing (822).
