(Cao Cao)

Jieshi is in the east to see the sea.

where there is water, there are mountains and islands.

there are many trees and plenty of herbs.

the autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.

the trip to the sun and the moon, if out of it;

if the star is brilliant, it will come out of it.

fortunately, even, the song sings with ambition.

2. Drinking

(Tao Yuanming)

build house is in a human environment, but there are no horses and chariots.

when you ask him what he can do, you are far from self-centered.

under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, you can see Nanshan leisurely.

the weather is getting better every day, and the birds are returning.

there is a real meaning in this, and I have forgotten to say it if I want to distinguish it.

3.

(Wang Bo)

by this wall that surrounds the three Qin districts, through a mist that makes five rivers one.

we bid each other a sad farewell, we two officials going opposite ways.

and yet, while China holds our friendship, and heaven remains our neighbourhood.

why should you linger at the fork of the road, children * * * with towels.

4. Meeting Huan

(Li Yu)

Going to the West Building alone without words, the moon is like a hook.

Lonely phoenix tree deep courtyard locks clear autumn.

if you keep cutting, you will lose your mind, which means leaving your sorrow.

it's especially the ordinary taste in my heart.

5. Spring Hope

(Du Fu)

though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure, and spring comes green again to trees and grasses.

where petals have been shed like tears, and lonely birds have sung their grief.

after the war-fires of three months, one message from home is worth a ton of gold.

I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thin, to hold the hairpins any more.

6. Looking at Yue

(Du Fu)

what a majestic sight of holy Mountain Tai!, vast greens stretch across Qi and Lu, the two lands high..

the Maker endowed all the mystic Nature grace here, and? a day at once into dawn and dusk comes by..

Ceng Yun, and the birds fly back and forth before my strained eye..

once climbing to the top of the peek, one would see, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky..

7.

(Bai Juyi)

In May, people are twice as busy as the Tian family.

at night, when the south wind comes, the wheat turns yellow.

the mother-in-law is full of food, and the child is full of pot pulp.

Xiang went with Xiang Tian, and Ding Zhuang was in Nangang.

it's full of rustic heat, and the back burns in the sun.

I don't know the heat, but I regret the long summer.

there is a poor woman again, holding her son by her side.

the right hand holds the ear, and the left arm hangs the basket.

it's sad to hear what they care about.

I've lost all my taxes, so I'll take this to satisfy my hunger.

what merits do I have today? I never worked in agriculture and mulberry.

Li Lu has three hundred stones, and Yan has surplus grain at the age of one.

I'm ashamed to read this, and I can't forget it every day.

8.

(Li Bai)

I heard that Wang Changling moved to Longbiaoyao on the left, and Yang Hua was crying all the time, and Wen Daolong crossed the five streams.

I'm worried about the bright moon, and I'll stay with the wind until the night is long!
