1. Spring Hope

Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city has deep spring vegetation.

I am moved to tears by the flowers in my heart, and I am frightened by the hatred of other birds.

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 lust is overwhelming.

Translation: Chang'an fell, the country was shattered, and only the mountains and rivers remained; spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang'an city is lush with vegetation. Feeling sentimental about state affairs, I can't help but burst into tears, and the chirping of birds frightens my heart, which only adds to the sorrow and hatred of separation. The continuous war has lasted for more than half a year. Letters from home are rare, and one letter is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Wrapped in sorrow, I scratched my head and thought. My white hair became shorter and shorter, and I almost couldn't insert the hairpin.

2. It was heard that the army had taken over Henan and Hebei.

Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

Suddenly there was news outside the sword that Jibei was taken over. When I first heard about it, my clothes were filled with tears.

But seeing where his wife was worried, she was filled with poems and books filled with joy.

It is necessary to indulge in drinking while singing during the day. Youth is a companion for returning home.

That is, pass through Wu Gorge from Ba Gorge, then go down to Xiangyang towards Luoyang.

Translation: Outside Jianmen Pass, good news suddenly spread that the government troops had recovered the northern Hebei area. I was so happy that my clothes were filled with tears. Looking back at my wife and children, my worries have gone away, and I rolled up my poems and books. The whole family was overjoyed. I want to drink and sing and go back to my hometown together. My heart and soul were already flying high, so I walked from Ba Gorge through Wu Gorge, then to Xiangyang and headed straight to Luoyang.

3. Climbing high

Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

The wind is strong, the sky is high, the ape is screaming in mourning, and the white bird is flying back from the clear sand in Zhugong.

Boundless falling trees rustle, and the endless Yangtze River rolls by.

Wanli is always a guest in the sad autumn, and he has been sick for hundreds of years and only appears on the stage.

Hard and bitter, I hate the frost on my temples, and my new wine glass becomes muddy.

Translation: The wind is strong and the sky is high. The cries of apes and monkeys look very sad. There are birds circling on the riverbank with clear water and white sand. The endless trees are rustling with fallen leaves, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling in. I feel sad about the autumn scenery, wandering thousands of miles and being a guest all year round. I have been plagued by illnesses throughout my life and now I am alone on the high platform. After going through hardships and bitterness, my hair has grown white on my temples, and my heart is full of decadence, so I have stopped drinking wine to drink my sorrow.

4. Reminiscing about my brother-in-law on a moonlit night

Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

Guarding drums interrupts the pedestrian movement, and there is a sound of wild geese in the autumn. (Bian Qiu, one work: Qiu Bian)

The dew turns white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown.

My brothers are all scattered, and I have no family to ask about life and death.

The letter sent was not delivered, but the troops did not stop.

Translation: The sound of watch drums on the garrison tower cut off people's communication. In the autumn of the frontier fortress, a lone goose was chirping. Tonight has entered the Bailu solar term, and the moon is still the brightest in my hometown. I have brothers but they are all scattered. I have no home and cannot inquire about life and death. Letters sent home to Luoyang City were often not delivered, not to mention the frequent wars that never stopped.

5. Prime Minister of Shu

Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

Where can I find the ancestral hall of the Prime Minister? There are many trees outside Jinguan City.

The green grass reflects the spring color on the steps, and the oriole sounds good in the sky through the leaves.

Three visits to trouble the world, two dynasties to open the hearts of old ministers. (Frequent Frequency: Frequent)

Died before leaving the army, which makes the hero burst into tears.

Translation: Where to find the ancestral hall of Wuhou Zhuge Liang? In the place with dense cypress trees outside Chengdu. The green grass reflects the spring color on the steps, and the orioles on the trees sing softly to each other in the sky through the branches. The First Lord of Determining the World visited the thatched cottage three times and assisted in the founding of the two dynasties and was full of loyalty. It is a pity that he died of illness in the army but failed to conquer Wei Dynasty. This has often made heroes of all ages burst into tears!
