Ancient poems describing the Xiaoshu solar terms

Ode to the twenty-four Qi poems·Xiaoshu June Festival

Yuan Zhen (Tang Dynasty)

Suddenly the warm wind arrives, followed by the slight summer heat.

The bamboos are noisy and the rain is heard first, and the mountains are dark and thunder is heard.

The doors and windows are covered with deep green mist, and the steps and courtyards are covered with green moss.

The eagles and falcons are learning new things, but the crickets should not encourage them.

　Translation

Suddenly, waves of heat waves hit us like a mountain. It turned out that they followed the solar term of Xiaoshu.

The noisy sound of bamboos already indicates that heavy rain is coming, and the gray color of the mountains seems to have heard the rumble of thunder.

It rained one after another, and there was a damp green mist on the doors and windows, and the courtyard was covered with small green moss.

The eagle senses that the chilling air is approaching and begins to practice fighting in the sky; the cricket's wings begin to grow and live on the wall of the cave.

Hear the mysterious principles in a quiet room, and grow old in the mountains.

I offer forest fruits to each other and want to learn from macaques.

Meditate quietly on a quiet and beautiful night, while the river meanders under the moonlight. When I was practicing Zen, I happened to catch up with the period of Xiaoshu, and when autumn came, I felt a little sick.

Part 3: An ancient poem describing the solar terms of Xiaoshu

The Xiaoshu in Yuxi is pleasant

Chao Buzhi of the Song Dynasty

A bowl of Baiyue In spring,

Yuxi is slightly hot but pleasant.

The world of mortals looks back together every day,

I can sit down in the hall occasionally.

The poet came to Yuxi during the Little Summer Season. The poet enjoys wine with his friends. Although it is Slight Summer, the weather in Yuxi is so refreshing and pleasant. Many years later, the poet who was living in the world of mortals suddenly looked back and saw the long past. When he was compiling history and writing articles in the court, he would definitely miss his free life like wandering clouds and wild cranes. The poet felt the ease and beauty of life in Yuxi, and could not help but think of his own hard work a few years later. The comparison between the two highlights the rarity of a free life now, and expresses the poet's love for an unfettered life.

The first note (Small Heat)

Back to the village slope. A family of three or two.

The walking path was suddenly covered by dusk clouds.

Melancholy, where Guo Zong stayed yesterday, the forest was full of crows.

Sanqi looks closely at the clouds. Chengguchu Lao.

Zhengchen flies up to my fur.

I saw the toad light rising up the tree again early, reflecting the reed flowers.

The sunlight slanted down the three or two households in the village. The setting sun slowly moved away, and its light was blocked by clouds. The poet feels melancholy that where Guo Zong rested last night, no one was there anymore, only the crows returning from the forest at night rested there. Looking at the rosy glow, the morning drums have just sounded. The dust stirred up stained the clothes. I saw the newly born sun climbing up to the treetops in the distance again, its gleaming light shining on the snow-white reed flowers. It describes the rural scenery during Xiaoshu, which is fresh, clean and natural.

Fortunately, I am lucky enough to be in Xiaoshu

Tang Dynasty. Han Hong

The handsome man on the horse, holding a bamboo slip and wearing silver chapter.

Go west to Luoyang and return to Hudu, and return to Lianhua Mansion.

In the morning, I will stay on Fangcao Wansui Street, and in the evening, I will stay at Yiquanwu in Chunshan.

Green trees line the rows of clothes, and swallows and orioles fly among them.

Far away from the three peaks and facing the eight rivers, this is the way to find a good reward in a secluded place.

The remaining flowers are scattered in the willow breeze, and the setting sun is sparse and the little locust rain is falling.

How can I cover up my tears with lovesickness? The people in front of the young master’s door gradually become sparse.

Fortunately, I expected it to be a mild summer, and I looked back at the car in my gauze hat.
