1. Seven Poems of Joining the Army. Part IV

Tang Dynasty: Wang Changling

There is a dark snowy mountain in Changyun, Qinghai, and the lonely city overlooks Yumenguan.

yellow sand wears golden armor in many battles, and it will not be returned until it breaks Loulan.

The Qinghai Lake is covered with dark clouds, and the continuous snow-capped mountains are bleak. The ancient city of frontier fortress, Yumen Xiongguan, is thousands of miles away and faces each other from afar.

The soldiers guarding the border are battle-hardened, their armor is worn out, and their aspirations are immortal. They will never return to their hometown until they defeat the invading enemy.

Tang Dynasty: Yan Zhenqing

It was the night when men were studying.

black hair doesn't know how to study early, but white head regrets studying late.

It is the best time for boys to study at midnight every day.

When I was a teenager, I only knew how to play, but I didn't know how to study hard. When I was old, I regretted why I didn't know how to study hard when I was young.

shed three autumn leaves and could bloom in February.

when you cross the river and wave in thousands of feet, you will get into the bamboo.

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sent warmth into Tu Su.

every family always changes new peaches for old ones.

amid the roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed; The warm spring breeze brought the New Year, and people drank the newly brewed Tu Su wine happily.

The rising sun shines on thousands of families, who are busy taking off the old peach charms and replacing them with new ones.

5. at heron lodge

Tang Dynasty: Wang Zhihuan

mountains cover the white sun, and oceans drain the golden river.

but you widen your view three hundred miles, by going up one flight of stairs.

Translation: The sunset slowly sinks next to the western hills, and the surging Yellow River surges toward the East China Sea.

If you want to see the scenery of thousands of miles, you must climb a higher tower.
