Song dynasty: Lu you
After the rain, the stream leveled the bank and looked at the children in the village to thank yat sen villa. Bamboo and horses gallop, kites are domineering and whistling in the wind.
In the third winter, I temporarily learned from Confucian scholars and practiced from my parents. Literacy is roughly equivalent to paying tribute, so you don't have to work hard for your officials.
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese:
After the rain, the stream overflowed the bank, almost flush with it. Come to see the children in the village and thank God for coming to Chuqing in the evening. Some rode bamboo horses and stumbled into the mud pit, some flew kites, and kites flew wildly in the wind.
I studied with my teacher for three months in winter and went home to work with my father and brother in busy farming season. Literacy can barely cope with taxes and labor, and you don't need to study hard to envy princes and nobles.
