1, Pi Rixiu's "Singing Crabs in West Zhejiang" in Tang Dynasty
Original text:
The sea has not yet known the reputation of crabs. Its meat has bones and its appearance is unique. ?
Don't say it is heartless, even if it is afraid of lightning, the sea dragon king is also on the rampage.
Translation:
I knew the reputation of crabs before I traveled to sea. Its meat has bones, which looks strange.
Don't say it is heartless, it is not afraid of lightning, and the sea dragon king is also rampant there.
2. Jiutian Waterhouse in Han Qi in Song Dynasty.
Original text:
The billiard hall destroyed the ancient pavilion, and this family will celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. Although I am ashamed of the pallor of my old nursery in autumn, I can see the fragrance of yellow flowers in the evening.
The wine is mellow and overcooked, and the crab claws don't need to be sanded first. In recent years, drinking is difficult to rise and fall, and the spirit is still crazy.
Translation:
The halls in Chi Pan have collapsed, and the ancient pavilions are desolate. I am here to receive guests and spend this wonderful Double Ninth Festival with them. Although I am ashamed of the dullness of the old garden in autumn, just like my old face, please look at the integrity of my old age, just like the fragrance of Huang Ju in full bloom.
The newly brewed wine is mature and mellow. Crabs are already fat and tender, so you don't have to wait for first frost in autumn. The decline of binge drinking in recent years is hard to give strength, only the talent of singing poetry is still very strong.
3. Li's Crab Fu in Tang Dynasty
Original text:
Cicada-eyed turtle-shaped feet are like spiders, and they have never faced anyone head-on. ?
Today, I am wandering around like a river and lake at a banquet.
Translation:
Eyes like turtles, feet like spiders, can't meet people head-on.
Now it's on the plate, just like in the rivers and lakes.
4. The Crab Fu by Cao Xueqin in Qing Dynasty
Original text:
Claws are more like osmanthus flowers, and vinegar is poured on ginger. The gluttonous prince and grandson should have wine, but the rampant son has no intestines.
Cold accumulation between umbilicus leads to forgetfulness, and fingers smell fishy. Originally, there was a beautiful mouth and a beautiful belly in the world, and the fairy laughed all her life.
Translation:
I prefer the shade of this osmanthus tree with crab claws in my hand. Ginger sprinkled with vinegar really makes me want to eat. The greedy prince and grandson naturally want to have wine for recreation, but they are nicknamed "the son of rampage" and have nothing in their stomachs.
For the sake of greed, I have long forgotten the scruples of cold accumulation in my belly and navel. My fingers are stained with fishy smell and still smell fragrant after washing. Crabs are born to satisfy the tastes of the world. Su Dongpo, known as the immortal, once laughed at himself for being busy all his life.
5. Su Shi's Four Fishermen in Song Dynasty (I)
Original text:
Fisherman drinks, who goes, fish and crab pay.
Wine is not intoxicating and there is not much money.
Translation:
The fisherman wants to drink, which one should he go to? Fish and crabs are given to the restaurant for wine at the same time.
No matter how much you drink, you will get drunk. Fishermen's fish and crabs and restaurant wine don't have to talk about money.
