1. Quatrains
Du Fu? [Tang Dynasty]
After an outing by the river, I looked back to see the flag.
The wind blows in the spring and the city twilight, and the drums and horns of the high-rise buildings are sad.
Translation:
After visiting the riverside and enjoying the wonderful outing festival, I was about to return home, but encountered the Tibetan army invading Sichuan and imposing martial law in Chengdu. Permeating the spring suburbs.
2. Against the Rain
Du Fu? [Tang Dynasty]
The rain is overwhelming at the end of the world, when the river is independent. Don't worry about the road of Ba, worry about getting wet with the banner of Han.
Snowy ridges guard against autumn emergencies, rope bridges defeat late ones. The nephew and uncle of Xirong were polite and did not dare to betray the favor.
Translation:
The four rain scenes above are the four senses below. When it rains, I am independent and my worries arise, so I don't have to worry about passing through Zilang because the road is rugged, but I am afraid that when the rain comes, the flag will be wet and it will be difficult to walk.
Because the Sixueling Rope Bridge is a place to defend against invaders, it is urgent to be prepared for autumn, and there is no hope of victory. The situation is serious and can be taken into consideration. Perhaps Tubo misses the gift of his nephew and cannot bear to betray our country, but the fate of the captives is unpredictable.
3. Recalling Jiangnan
Bai Juyi? [Tang Dynasty]
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?
Translation:
The scenery in Jiangnan is so beautiful, the picturesque scenery has been familiar for a long time.
When spring comes, the sun rises from the river, illuminating the flowers on the riverside bright red, and the green river water is greener than the blue grass. How can one not miss Jiangnan?
4. Xijiang Moon·Walking on the Yellow Sand Road at Night
Xin Qiji? [Song Dynasty]
The bright moon on the other branches scares the magpies, and the breeze sings the cicadas in the middle of the night. The fragrance of rice flowers tells of a good harvest, and the sound of frogs sounds.
Seven or eight stars are outside the sky, and two or three points of rain are in front of the mountain. In the old days, by the forest of Maodian Society, I suddenly saw a bridge over a stream when the road turned.
Translation:
The bright moonlight passed through the branches, startling the magpies on the branches, and the cool evening breeze seemed to hear the cicadas chirping in the distance. The fragrance of rice flowers and the sound of frogs in the fields seem to tell people that this is a good harvest year.
A few stars in the sky flickered, and a light rain began to fall in front of the mountain. The small thatched house of the past is still next to the woods of Tutu Temple. When the road turns around the source of the stream, it suddenly appears in front of you.
5. Passing through Qi County early
Cha Shenxing? [Qing Dynasty]
The water under the Gaodeng Bridge is hot and cold, and the dew air is cool by the river.
Walking through Qi Garden before dawn, the waning moon and the scent of apricot blossoms are everywhere.
Translation:
When I passed the Gaodeng Bridge, in the hazy night, I saw the water flowing under the bridge, and the dew on the river was thick, with a hint of coolness in the early morning. gas.
It was not yet dawn when I walked through Qi Garden. On the horizon in the distance, there was a waning moon. The apricot blossoms nearby were spitting out their flowers under the faint moonlight of dawn. Refreshing aroma.
