1. "The Wandering Son's Song" by Meng Jiao of the Tang Dynasty

The thread in the hands of the loving mother, the clothes on the wandering boy's body.

Before leaving, I am worried that I will return later.

Whoever speaks an inch of grass will be rewarded with three rays of spring. ?

Translation:

The loving mother used the needle and thread in her hands to make clothes for her son who was traveling far away.

Before leaving, I sewed stitch by stitch, fearing that my son’s clothes would be damaged if he came back late.

Who dares to say that children with filial piety as weak as Xiaocao can repay the kindness of Chunhui Puze?

2. "Seven Steps Poetry" by Cao Zhi of the Wei and Jin Dynasties

Cooking beans burns the bean sprouts, and the beans weep in the cauldron.

They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into conflict.

Translation:

Boil the beans to make bean soup, and filter the beans to make juice.

The bean stalk is burning under the pot, and the beans are crying in the pot.

Bean poles and beans grow from the same root. Why do they have to torture and force each other so hard?

3. "Spring Hope" by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty

The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is full of 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:

When the country fell, only the mountains and rivers remained, and the urban areas in spring were overgrown with weeds.

Sad and sad, I shed tears when I see the flowers blooming. When I leave my family, the singing of birds makes my heart palpitate.

The flames of war have not stopped in March, and family letters are precious and worth tens of thousands of dollars.

When you are depressed and upset, you just scratch your head, causing your white hair to become sparse and unable to be inserted into hairpins.

4. "Autumn Thoughts" by Zhang Ji of the Tang Dynasty

When the autumn wind is seen in Luoyang City, the writer is full of ideas.

I am afraid that I can’t finish the story in a hurry, and the travelers have to open it again before leaving. ?

Translation:

Living in Luoyang City, the autumn wind makes people miss you. I want to write a letter home, but my thoughts are running wild and I am in a hurry. How can I write it emotionally?

The messenger was about to go on his way, but he was called over again. Open the envelope and look carefully to see if there is anything missing.

5. "Reminiscences of Shandong Brothers on September 9th" by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty

I am a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my family even more during the festive season.

I know from afar that my brothers have climbed to a high place, and there is one less person planting dogwood trees everywhere.

Translation:

I am away from home alone as a guest in a foreign country. I miss my loved ones especially when the festival comes.

I think back to today when my brothers climbed high and looked far into the distance, but I was the only one missing with dogwood on their heads.
