Original text of Yan's poem to Liu Sou_Translation and appreciation

There are two swallows on the beam, a male and a female. Between two rafters holding mud, four children were born in one nest. The four children have long days and long nights, and they are asking for food diligently. Caterpillars are difficult to catch, and the yellow mouth has no period of satiety. Although the claws are eager to be worn out, the mind is not tired. I have been going back and forth for ten seconds, as if I was afraid of hunger in the nest. After thirty days of hard work, the mother becomes thinner and the chick becomes fatter. He murmured teaching words and brushed his sweaters one by one. Once its wings are fully fledged, it leads up to the branches of the garden. He lifts his wings without looking back and flies in all directions with the wind. The male and female scream in the air, but they never come back. But I went into an empty nest, chirping sadly all night long. Yan Yan, don't be sad, you should go back and think about yourself. Si'er is a young child, flying high and carrying his mother on his back. My parents thought about it then, but you should know it today. ——Tang Dynasty·Bai Juyi's "Poetry of Swallows Revealed to Liu Sou" Poem of Swallows Revealed to Liu Sou There are two swallows on the beam, a male and a female.

Between the two rafters holding mud, four children were born in a nest.

The days and nights are long, and the four children are asking for food diligently.

Caterpillars are difficult to catch, and the yellow mouth has no period of satiety.

Although the claws are eager to wear out, the mind is not tired.

After a while, I am afraid that I will be hungry in the nest.

After thirty days of hard work, the mother becomes thinner and the chick becomes fatter.

Mutter the teaching words and brush the sweaters one by one.

Once its wings are fully fledged, lead them to the branches of the garden.

Lift your wings without looking back, and fly in all directions with the wind.

The male and female scream in the air, but they never come back.

But I went into an empty nest, chirping sadly all night long.

Yan Yan, don’t be sad, you should go back and think about yourself.

Si'er is a young bird, flying high and carrying his mother on his back.

My parents read it then, but you should know it today. Thanks to Parents Translation and Notes

Translation

A pair of swallows came up from the roof beam, flying gracefully, one male and one female.

He built a nest between the rafters with mud in his mouth, and gave birth to four baby swallows in one nest.

The four baby swallows grew up day and night, and their cries for food could not be stopped.

Caterpillars are not easy to catch, and the yellow-mouthed swallows never seem to have enough to eat.

The two swallows grasped with their claws and held them in their mouths, exhausting their strength and working tirelessly.

After a while, I went back and forth for ten times, and I was worried that the little swallows in the nest would be hungry.

After thirty days of hard work, I lost weight in the mother swallow and fattened the chicks.

Nunan kept teaching Xiaoyan their pronunciation and grooming them one by one.

As soon as Xiaoyan's feathers grew plump, she was attracted to the branches in the courtyard. She never looked back and flew away in all directions with the wind.

Two swallows, male and female, screamed in the air, even though they were hoarse, they couldn’t call them back.

I had to go back to the empty nest and scream all night long!

Old swallows, don’t lament, you should think back to the past:

Think of the time when you were young swallows, and you also flew away,

Abandoning your parents My parents missed me so much, you should experience it today!

Writing about birds, expressing gratitude. Every time Shi read "Poetry" to "Owl", read "Book" to "Jun Xi", he often felt sad for the absence of Zhou Gong. Looking at the "History", I saw that Confucius was in trouble between Chen and Cai, while the sound of string songs continued, and Yan Yuan and Zhong Yu's disciples talked to each other and asked questions. The Master said: "'The bandits and tigers are leading the wilderness', my way is not evil, why should I do this?" Yan Yuan said: "The Master's way is so great that no one in the world can tolerate it. Although, what disease can't be tolerated? It cannot be tolerated. Then I'll see you, gentleman." The master smiled happily and said, "If I make you rich, I will be your master." Although the world cannot tolerate him, his disciples are happy enough. Now I know that the wealth of the Duke of Zhou is not as good as the poverty of the Master. If the husband summons the virtuous people of the Duke, and uses the relatives of Guan and Cai without knowing their true feelings, then who will enjoy the Duke of Zhou's wealth and honor? And the people whom the Master treats the poor and the lowly are all talented people in the world, so that is enough for him! When Shi was seven or eight years old, he began to learn to read. He heard that there was Ouyang Gong in the world, who was a disciple of Meng Ke and Han Yu in ancient times; and there was Mei Gong who traveled with him and discussed with him. Later, as he grew stronger, he was able to read his words, and imagined that he was a human being, that he was free from worldly pleasures and enjoying himself. Fang Xue is an essay on antiphonal sounds and rhythms, seeking to gain a fortune by fighting for promotion, so as to avoid being able to advance among the nobles. I have been in the capital for more than a year and have never seen its door. This spring, people from all over the world came to the Ministry of Rites, and the deacon and Ouyang Gongshi personally tried it. Sincerely, I won the second place. After hearing about it, the deacon loved his writing and thought it was in the style of Mencius Ke; and Ouyang Gong also took it because it could not be secular writing, so he wrote it here. Those who are not introduced to him by his left and right, who are not invited by relatives and relatives, but who have been to him for more than ten years, heard his name but could not see him, can become a close friend for a while. If you think about it, you can't live in wealth, nor can you live in poverty. If there is a great sage who can be his disciple, it is enough to rely on him. Just by chance, dozens of people were riding on the chariot, so that the people in the alleys gathered to watch and admire it, how could it be so easy to enjoy it? "Biography" says: "Don't complain about heaven, don't blame others." It means "You can travel well and die at the age of 50." The deacon is famous all over the world, but his position is only five ranks. His face is warm but not angry, and his writing is generous and simple without any complaints. This must be something he enjoys. Shi Yuan and Wen Yan. ——Song Dynasty·Su Shi's "Shangmei Zhisu Shu"
