An ancient poem about the cold dew solar term

"Cold dew is seen on the leaves of the sycamore tree on a moonlit night" by Dai Cha of the Tang Dynasty

On the leaves of the Xiaoshu tung tree, the white dew of the moon has just begun to appear.

Drops of bitumen are full of light, and the colors are bright and cold.

The wind shakes the jade pendant, and the branches move with pity.

The air is cold and I am suspicious of the autumn evening, and the sound is faint and it is late at night.

The congealed sky flows all over, and the moistening things are pure and suitable for viewing.

Don’t be tired of looking at the tiredness, it’s even harder to gather the sunshine.

"Chi Shang" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty

The cool wind is blowing, and the dew is cold and desolate.

The orchids fade and the flowers turn white, while the leaves of the lotus remain green when they are broken.

A sand crane sits alone, and a pair of fireflies fly in the water.

If you are in a lonely place, it is still worth waking up from the wine.

"Jade Butterfly" Northern Song Dynasty·Liu Yong

Looking at the rain and the clouds, I quietly watch the autumn light.

The desolate evening scene makes Song Yu feel desolate.

The water and breeze are gentle, the apple blossoms are getting older, the moon is cold and the dew is cold, and the phoenix leaves are turning yellow.

Redeem love and hurt. Where are the old friends? The smoke and water are vast. memorable.

At the wine party during the period of writing, there are a few solitary romances, and the stars change repeatedly.

The sea is vast and the mountains are far away, and it is unknown where Xiaoxiang is!

Remembering the twin swallows, it is difficult to rely on distant faith to refer to the dusk sky and the empty consciousness to return home.

Looking at each other sadly. In the sound of broken Hong, the setting sun rises.
