1. Plum blossoms
Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi
There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han blooms alone.
I know it’s not snow from afar, because there is a faint fragrance coming.
Translation
There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, blooming alone in the severe cold.
From a distance, you can tell that the white plum blossoms are not snow, because the fragrance of plum blossoms is coming from them.
2. Wangyue
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
What about Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young.
The clock of creation is beautiful, and the yin and yang cut off the dawn.
Zeng Yun is born in the chest, and the returning bird enters the canthus.
You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
Translation
How does the scene of Mount Tai, the first of the five mountains, look like? On the land of Qilu, the green mountains have no end.
Nature brings together all the magical and beautiful scenes. The yin and yang of the southern and northern mountains are decomposed, and the morning and evening are different.
Looking at the rising clouds makes one’s heart clear; watching the returning birds whirling into the mountains makes one’s eyes burst into tears.
Be sure to climb to the top of Mount Tai and overlook the seemingly insignificant mountains.
3. Nine Songs·National Sorrow
Pre-Qin: Qu Yuan
When he was fighting Wu Ge, he was caught in a rhinoceros armor.
The enemy is like a cloud that blocks the sun, and the arrows are falling and the soldiers are fighting for the lead.
Lingyu formation is still walking, and the left side is injured by the right blade.
The two wheels of haze are coming, and the four horses are riding, and the jade is coming to help, and the drums are beating.
The weather is full of anger and mighty spirits, killing them all and abandoning the wilderness.
You can’t go in and out, but you can’t go in the opposite direction. The plain suddenly turns out to be too long.
Bringing a long sword and holding a Qin bow, his head and body are separated and his heart is not punished.
Sincerity is both brave and martial, and ultimately strong and invincible.
Since the body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and is the ghost.
Translation
Wearing rhinoceros leather armor and holding weapons, their chariots cross each other and they kill each other with swords.
The flag blocks the sun, the enemy is like a dark cloud, the flying arrows fall, and the soldiers bravely rush to the front.
They invaded my position and trampled on my troops. The left man died and the right man was wounded by a knife.
Buried two wheels, tripped four horses, and beat the war drum with a jade mallet in hand.
The sky is dark and the earth is dark, the majestic gods are angry, cruelly killing them all, leaving the corpses in the wilderness.
There is no turning back from the expedition, and there is no turning back if we go forward. The plains are confusing and the journey is long.
Wearing a long sword and carrying a strong bow and crossbow, the head and body are separated, but the ambition remains unchanged.
You are really brave and full of fighting spirit. You are always strong and no one can invade you.
The body is dead, but the spirit will never die. Your soul is the hero among ghosts!
4. Five of the Thirteen Poems of Nanyuan
Tang Dynasty: Li He
Why don't men bring Wu hooks and collect the fifty states in Guanshan?
Please come to Lingyan Pavilion for a while. Are you a scholar with ten thousand households?
Translation
Why don't men, men, carry weapons and go to recover the fifty states of Guansai River and Mountain that were separated from the north and south of the Yellow River?
Please go up to the Lingyan Pavilion for a moment and take a look. Which scholar has ever been named a prince with thousands of households in the city?
5. Lushan Ballad to Lu Shi Yuxuzhou
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
I am a madman of Chu, and Feng Ge laughs at Confucius.
Holding a green jade staff, facing the Yellow Crane Tower.
I will never go far to find immortals in the Five Mountains, and I will spend my life traveling to famous mountains.
Lushan Mountain shows off the South Douban, and the screen has nine folds of clouds.
The shadow falls on Minghu Lake and the blue and green light shines. There are two long peaks in front of the Golden Tower, and three stone beams hang upside down from the Milky Way.
The Xianglu Waterfall looks across from each other in the distance, and the cliffs reach the peak.
Green shadows and red clouds reflect the morning sun, and birds cannot fly to Wu Tianchang.
Climbing high and spectacular, between heaven and earth, the vast river will never return.
The yellow clouds are moving thousands of miles, and the white waves are flowing over the snow-capped mountains.
It is good for Lushan ballads, and it is popular because of Lushan.
Peering into the stone mirror clears my heart, thanking the public for the green moss.
If you take Huandan early, you will have no worldly feelings, and the threefold path of Qinxin will be completed.
I saw an immortal in the colorful clouds in the distance, holding a hibiscus towards Yujing.
I am sweating all over Jiugai in advance, and I am willing to take Lu Ao on a tour to Taiqing.
Translation
I was originally like that madman who took over Chu.
I sang the Phoenix song loudly to laugh at Confucius.
Holding a stick inlaid with green jade in hand,
Farewell to the famous Yellow Crane Tower early in the morning.
Climbing the Five Mountains in search of immortality is not afraid of the long journey.
I have always loved traveling to famous mountains in my life.
The beautiful Lushan Mountain stands tall and tall beside the Nandou.
Nine stacks of clouds spread out like beautiful clouds.
The shadows of the lakes and mountains reflect each other with a green light.
The twin peaks in front of Jinque Rock stand high in the clouds,
The Sandie Spring is like a Milky Way with three stone beams hanging upside down.
Xianglufeng Waterfall faces it from a distance,
The mountains and cliffs tower into the sky.
The green clouds, red clouds and the morning sun complement each other,
No bird can fly beyond Wu Tianguang.
Climb high and look at the spectacular scene between heaven and earth.
The river flows eastward and never returns.
Thousands of miles of yellow clouds in the sky change the color of the wind,
The nine waves of the river flow like snow-capped mountains.
I like to sing for the majestic Lushan Mountain.
This interest is fueled by the scenery of Lushan Mountain.
Looking at the stone mirror in your spare time makes your mind pure.
Xie Lingyun’s footprints have long been covered by moss.
I want to take the elixir early to get rid of worldly emotions.
I have begun to practice the three elixirs and accumulate knowledge.
I saw the immortal in the colorful clouds from a distance, holding hibiscus flowers in his hands to worship Jade Capital.
I have already made an appointment with the gods to meet in Jiutian.
I hope to welcome you and invite you to travel to Taiqing.
