Guan Shanyue Li Bai

The bright moon rises out of Tianshan Mountain, among the vast sea of ??clouds. The wind blows tens of thousands of miles across Yumen Pass.

The Han Dynasty descended to the Baideng Road, and the Hu took a peek at the Qinghai Bay. The origin of the battle was that no one returned.

The garrison guests looked at the border towns, thinking about returning home with many sad faces. The tall building is like this night, sighing is not enough.

Translation: A bright moon rises above the Tianshan Mountains, wandering in the vast sea of ??clouds. The bleak autumn wind blows the bright moon, crossing the Yumen Pass eastward, shining on the soldiers guarding the border. On this desolate pass, the conquerors could not help but think of the frequent wars at this pass: the emperor of the Han Dynasty was once trapped by the Xiongnu's Baishan Mountain; the soldiers and horses of the Hu people are still eyeing Qinghai Lake. This place has been the battleground between Yi and Xia since the beginning. How many warriors abandoned themselves outside the Great Wall and buried their bones in the yellow sand. The soldiers looked at the desolate scenery under the moonlight, with a sad look on their faces. Thinking of my wife at home, she must be leaning on the building looking forward to the return of the conscript, looking at the moon and sighing with joy.

Homesickness Sentence: When the garrison guest looks at the border town, he looks bitterly at the thought of returning home.

Crossing the Jingmen gate to say goodbye to Li Bai

Crossing the distance outside the Jingmen gate, I came to visit the Kingdom of Chu. The mountains end with the plains, and the river flows into the wilderness.

Under the moon, there is a flying mirror, and the clouds form a sea tower. Still feeling pity for the water in my hometown, I send my boat sailing thousands of miles away.

Translation: I came all the way across Jingmen to visit the Chu region. The mountains gradually disappear as low plains appear. The river flows in the endless wilderness. The reflection of the moon in the water is like a celestial mirror flying down from the sky. The clouds rise and change endlessly, forming a mirage. I still love the water in my hometown, which flows thousands of miles and sends me on a long journey.

Homesickness sentence: I still pity the water of my hometown, and see you off on a boat thousands of miles away.
