1. First Arrival in Huangzhou
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
I laugh at myself for having been busy with my mouth all my life, but my career turned ridiculous as I got older.
As the Yangtze River flows around Guo, you will know the beauty of the fish, and the mountains with good bamboos will feel the fragrance of bamboo shoots.
When chasing guests, you might as well put people outside. The poet is Shui Cao Lang.
It's just shameful that it can't help anything, it's still a waste of money for the officials.
Translation: I find it funny that I have been busy talking all my life, but what I do when I get older is that I have to talk nonsense. The Yangtze River surrounds the city, and I know the fish in the river are delicious. The mountains and fields are covered with lush bamboos, and I can only feel the fragrance of bamboo shoots. Of course, those who are demoted can be resettled by other officials. It is a common practice for poets to become Shui Cao Lang. I am ashamed that my advice on political affairs has no benefit, and I have to waste the official salary and receive wine bags.
2. Picking mulberry seeds·Double Ninth Festival
Modern times: Mao Zedong
Life is easy but it is difficult to grow old, and the Double Ninth Festival is celebrated every year. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and the yellow flowers on the battlefield are particularly fragrant.
The autumn wind is strong once a year, unlike spring. Better than the spring sunshine, there is frost all over the Liao Kuo River.
Translation: Human beings tend to grow old in their life, but the sky never gets old. The Double Ninth Festival will come every year. Today is the Double Ninth Festival again, and the chrysanthemums on the battlefield are so fragrant. The autumn wind blows vigorously year after year, and the scenery is not as bright as the spring scenery. But it is even more magnificent than the spring scene, with the sky over the river as vast as the universe covered with white frost.
3. Huanxi Sand
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
At the foot of the mountain, the orchid buds are soaked in the stream, the sandy road among the pines is clean and mudless, and the rain is bleating at dusk. Who said there is no less in life? You see, the flowing water can still reach the west. Don't sing the yellow chicken with your white hair.
Translation: The orchids at the foot of the mountain are short and soaked in the stream. The sandy road in the pine forest is so clean and free of mud. Under the mist of rain in the evening, the chirping bird is singing. Who says it's impossible to stay young again when you get older? Please take a look at the Nalan River. It can still flow to the west. Don't be sad. The white-haired old man can still be a rooster announcing the dawn.
4. The clear light hangs in the autumn sky
Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
The sky is cool and quiet, and the autumn day is crystal clear.
The round light contains all things, and the broken shadows enter the idle stream.
Jiao and Qing Ming are together, and they are floating in the same river and Dian.
During the day, there are many trees in the shadows, and dangerous buildings under the slanting shadows.
Song Yu climbed high and resented, while Zhang Heng looked far away and felt sad.
The afterglow is so trustworthy, but the cloud road is so long.
Translation: The sky is clear, the environment is cool and quiet, and the autumn sun is particularly bright. The sun's rays are all-encompassing, and the light and shadow are reflected in the quiet river. The vastness of the autumn light matches the blue sky, and from a distance the rivers and lakes rise and fall together. During the day, the gloom is far away from the trees, and the slanting shadow of the setting sun is cast on the tall buildings. Song Yu climbed high and complained about the autumn weather, while Zhang Heng looked into the distance and felt autumn sadness. If the afterglow of the sun can be relied on, how can the road of officialdom be so far away?
5. Appreciating peonies at Jixiang Temple
Song Dynasty: Su Shi
If you are old and don’t feel ashamed when you wear a hairpin, you should be ashamed to have flowers on your head.
The drunken man returning home to help the passerby should smile, and the ten-mile bead curtain is half hooked.
Translation: An old man in his fifties did not feel embarrassed wearing a bright peony. The peony was embarrassed because it was placed on the old man's head. After admiring flowers and drinking wine, he came back drunk and made passersby laugh. Along the ten-mile long street, bead curtains were rolled up, and the people were vying to see the unruly prefect who walked unsteadily.
