Li Huafeng, a peach blossom in Luoyang Oriental, flies around, and I don't know whose home it is. Luoyang's daughter looks very good and sighs as soon as she sits down. The peach blossom and plum blossom I saw this year have rotted in color. I wonder who can see the beautiful flowers in the flowering season next year? I have seen handsome pines and cypresses destroyed into firewood, and I heard that mulberry fields have become the sea. Old friends no longer lament that the peach blossoms are dying in the east of Luoyang, but now people are still falling in the wind. Flowers still bloom every year, but they are different from year to year. Tell those young people in their prime that they should pity this half-dead old man.
Now he is white-haired and poor, but he is still a handsome young woman. The old man in his later years once danced with the son of Yu Fangshu's son in the methotrexate song. There are also beautiful decorative billiard tables like Guanglu Xun Imperial Guards and Horses in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there are also those with colorful fairy painted in the mourning hall like Liang Ji. When the old man is sick in bed, he is ignored. In the past, he had fun in the spring. Where is the Qing dance now? How many times can a beautiful woman like a beautiful woman last? After a while, the crane was disheveled and pale as silk. But looking at ancient song and dance venues, only birds are sad at dusk.

Translation:
Peach blossoms and plum blossoms in the east of Luoyang drifted with the wind, flying around, and I don't know whose home they landed in. Luoyang woman, with a delicate and charming face, sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the scattered peaches and plums and sighing for a long time. This year, I am here to watch peach blossoms and plum blossoms fade due to withering. I wonder who else will see the brilliant victory when the flowers bloom next year.
I have seen handsome pines and cypresses destroyed and cut down for firewood. I heard that mulberry fields have become the sea of Wang Yang. Old friends no longer lament the withering of Luoyang Dongtaoli, and now people are still mourning for the falling flowers falling with the wind. Flowers still bloom every year, but people who look at them every year are different.
Tell those young people in their prime to pity this half-dead old man. Now his hair is all white, poor thing. However, he used to be a charming young man. The old man with white hair once played with his son Wang Sun under the fragrant tree, singing and dancing before the flowers fell.
He used to decorate the pool platform with splendid scenery like Ma Fang, who was advised by Guang Luquan in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He also painted clouds and immortals everywhere in the pavilion of his mansion. Now the old man with white head was once ill in bed and ignored. Where was the joy of singing and dancing in the past? And how long can a beautiful woman's youthful beauty last? After a while, the crane's hair was unkempt and white as silk.
I saw the land of singing and dancing through the ages, and all that remained was the birds singing in the air at dusk.

Poetry appreciation
The sentence "If the beauty is full, you should pity the Chinese Pulsatilla to death" points out that the beauty's future must be the old man's today, and the old man's past is actually the beauty's today. The poet typifies the specific fate of beautiful women and old men with white heads, which shows that this is the same fate of a large group of men, women and children in the lower classes of feudal society, so he puts forward that they should help each other in the same boat and have the function of "awakening the world"
"Peach blossoms in Luoyang East, whose home flies around", the first two sentences of the poem describe the late spring scenery in Luoyang East. He expressed his yearning and nostalgia for the beautiful spring scenery and youth, and his sadness and regret for the falling of peaches and plums and the perishable youth were born from this.
