1. "Spring Hope" by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is full of spring vegetation.
I am moved to tears by the flowers, and the birds are frightened by the hatred.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the lust is overwhelming.
Translation: The capital was invaded but the mountains and rivers remained the same, and the weeds and trees in Chang'an City grew luxuriantly. When I feel sentimental about state affairs, I can't help crying when I see flowers blooming, and I feel melancholy and resentful in my heart. When I hear the singing of birds, I feel that the sound is also very heart-wrenching. The continuous war has lasted for a spring. Letters from home are rare, and one letter is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Wrapped in sadness, I scratched my head and thought. My white hair became shorter and shorter, and I almost couldn't insert the hairpin.
2. "Summer Quatrains" by Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty
He was a hero in life and a ghost in death.
I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.
Translation: When you are alive, you must be a hero among men, and when you die, you must be a hero among ghosts. People still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to return to Jiangdong secretly.
3. "Shi'er" by Lu You in the Song Dynasty
After death, I know that everything is in vain, but I am not as sad as Jiuzhou.
Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and he never forgot to tell Nai Weng about family sacrifices.
Translation: I originally knew that there would be nothing after death, but I just felt sad that I could not see the country reunified. On the day when the Song army regains the lost land in the Central Plains, don't forget to tell me when you hold family sacrifices.
4. "Ode of Lime" by Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty
Thousands of hammers carved out the deep mountains, and the fire burned them as if nothing happened.
Don’t be afraid of your bones being shattered into pieces, you must remain innocent in this world.
Translation: Limestone can be mined from the mountains after thousands of hammers. It treats the burning of raging fire as a very common thing. Don't be afraid even if your body is broken into pieces, as long as you keep your noble integrity in the world.
5. "Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai·Part 5" by Gong Zizhen of the Qing Dynasty
The sun is setting in the daytime of the mighty separation, and the whip is chanting to the east and pointing to the end of the world.
The falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers.
Translation: The sorrowful thoughts of leaving Kyoto are like water waves extending into the distance where the sunset sets west. When you wave your riding whip eastward, you feel like you are at the end of the world. The fallen flowers that fall from the branches are not heartless things. Even if they turn into spring mud, they are willing to cultivate the growth of beautiful spring flowers.
