Sleepwalking Tianmu chants to leave a farewell

Li Bai

Haike talks about Yingzhou, and it is difficult to find letters in the mist.

The people of Yue are talking to Tianmu, and the clouds are bright and extinguished or can be seen.

Tianmu stretches the sky towards the sky, pulling out the five mountains to cover Chicheng.

The rooftop is 48,000 feet long, and it is tilted toward the southeast.

I want to dream of Wuyue and fly across the Jinghu Lake to the moon all night.

The moon over the lake shines on my shadow and sends me to Yanxi River.

Xie Gong’s residence is still there today, and the Lu River is rippling and the apes are crying.

Wearing Xie Gong's clogs, we climbed the Qingyun Ladder.

The sun can be seen from half of the wall, and the sky chickens can be heard in the sky.

Thousands of rocks and valleys, the road is uncertain, and the lost flowers leaning against the rocks are suddenly dim.

Bears roar and dragons sing in Yinyan Spring, and chestnut trees in deep forests are astonishing at the top of the mountain.

The clouds are green and it looks like it is raining, and the water is watery and smokey.

The cracks were broken by thunderbolts, and the hills collapsed.

The cave sky stone fan opens in the center.

The blue sky is vast and bottomless, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform.

The neon is the clothes, the wind is the horse, and the kings of the clouds come and go one after another.

The tiger, the drum, the harp, the luan, come back to the car, and the immortals are lined up like hemp.

Suddenly the soul palpitates and the soul moves, and suddenly starts to sigh.

Only when I sleep on my pillow, I lose the ever-present haze.

The same is true for pleasure in the world. Since ancient times, everything has flowed eastwards.

When will you return after leaving? Let's put the white deer among the green cliffs.

Riding to visit famous mountains as soon as possible.

An Neng can bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy!

It was stormy on November 4th

Lu You

Lying stiffly in the lonely village, he did not feel sorry for himself, but still thought about guarding the Luntai for the country.

Lying down at night listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse glaciers fell into my dream.

Nan Xiangzi wrote a photo for his deceased wife

Nalan Xingde

Tears were shed but silently, he only regretted his past ruthlessness and relied on his paintings to reflect on his past. Yingying. It’s so sad that I can’t paint it.

The other words are very clear. I woke up early from a dream in the middle of the night. Qing woke up from his dream early in the morning and woke up from his dream.

Weeping all over the wind and rain at night.

Expressing one's true feelings

Li Qingzhao

Late at night, it is too late to remove makeup,

The calyx of a plum tree is inserted into a broken branch.

Awakening from alcohol breaks the spring sleep,

Dreams can never be returned.

People are quiet,

The moon is shining,

The green curtain is hanging down.

More the remaining pistils,

More the remaining fragrance,

Get more time.

Good things are coming soon

The wind is setting and the flowers are falling deep,

There are red piles of snow outside the curtain.

After the begonias bloom, it is the time of spring.

After the singing in the wine stall, the jade statue is empty,

The green vat is dark and bright.

The dream of the soul is filled with resentment,

A cry of determination
