I advise you not to cherish your gold-threaded clothes; I advise you to cherish your youth. Flowers are ready to be broken when they bloom, but don’t wait to break branches when there are no flowers left.
——"Golden Threaded Clothes" Du Qiuniang (Tang Dynasty)
Ten thousand dollars worth of wine in gold bottles, and ten thousand dollars worth of treasures on jade plates. Stopping the cup and throwing chopsticks, I can't eat. I draw my sword and look around at a loss.
If you want to cross the Yellow River, which is blocked by ice, you will have to climb the snow-covered mountains of Taihang. When I was free to fish on the Bixi River, I suddenly took a boat and dreamed of the sun.
The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult, and there are many divergent paths. Where are you now? There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds and sails are hung directly to help the sea.
—— "Traveling is Difficult" Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
No slander is as deep as the waves, no guest is as deep as the sand. Although it is hard work to search for thousands of pounds, you will only get gold after blowing all the sand.
——"Lang Tao Sha" Liu Yuxi (Tang Dynasty)
Black clouds are pressing down on the city and are about to be destroyed, and the light of armor opens towards the golden scales of the sun. The sound of the trumpet fills the autumn sky, stuffed with swallow fat and the night is purple.
A half-rolled red flag is near the Yishui River, and the sound of heavy frost and cold drums cannot be heard. I will report to you on the golden platform and support the jade dragon to die for you.
——"The Journey of the Grand Administrator of Yanmen" Li He (Tang Dynasty)
A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, the flowers are fragrant and the moon is cloudy. The sound of singing in the pavilion is soft, and the night is dark in the swing courtyard.
——"Spring Night" Su Shi (Song Dynasty)
The long clouds in Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance. Yellow sand can wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken.
——"Joining the Army" Wang Changling (Tang Dynasty)
The fine clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man crosses the far distance in secret. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless others in the world. Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can't help but look at the magpie bridge on the way home. If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?
——"Magpie Bridge Immortal" Qin Guan (Northern Song Dynasty)
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is full of spring vegetation. The flowers shed tears when I feel grateful, and the birds are frightened by the hatred.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold. The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the hairpin is full of lust.
——"Spring Hope" by Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)
When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom. The incense formation soaring to the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor.
