1. Shui Tiao Ge Tou·When will the bright moon appear

Song Dynasty: Su Shi

Bingchen Mid-Autumn Festival, drinking happily until the end of the day, and getting drunk, I wrote this article, and also Huai Ziyu.

When will the bright moon appear? Ask the sky for wine. I don’t know what year it is today in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid that it will be cold in the high places. Dancing clear shadow, like in the world?

Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, where the Qihu is low and the light shines without sleep. There shouldn't be any hatred, so what's the point of saying goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times. I hope that people will live long and travel thousands of miles to meet Chanjuan.

Translation:

On the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Bingchen year (1076 AD), I drank happily until dawn, got very drunk, and wrote this poem. I miss my brother Su Che.

When did the bright moon first appear? I held my wine glass and asked the sky. I don’t know what year it is tonight in the palace in the sky. I wanted to rely on the wind to go back to the sky to have a look, but I was worried that the buildings made of beautiful jade were too high and I couldn't stand the cold. I stood up and danced, admiring my clear shadow under the moonlight. There was no place in the moon palace compared to the human world.

The moon turned around the vermilion pavilion and hung low on the window, illuminating the sleepless people in the room. The bright moon shouldn't have any resentment towards people, but why does it always become full when people leave? People have changes in joys and sorrows, and the moon has changes in waxing and waning. This matter has been difficult to understand since ancient times. I hope people can stay together for a long time and enjoy this beautiful moon together even if they are thousands of miles apart.

2. Nian Nujiao·Chibi Nostalgia

Song Dynasty: Su Shi

The great river goes eastward, and the waves are gone, and there are romantic figures throughout the ages. On the west side of the fortress, the humane road is Chibi, the Lang of the Zhou Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms.

Rocks pierced through the sky, stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. Picturesque, a moment how many hero.

I think back to Gong Jin’s time, when Xiao Qiao got married for the first time and looked majestic and handsome. Feather fans and silk scarves, while talking and laughing, the rafts and oars disappeared into ashes.

My motherland wanders in my mind, I should laugh at my passion, and I will be born early. Life is like a dream, a statue returns to the moon.

Translation: The water of the river is rolling and flowing eastward, and the huge waves wash away the heroes of the ages. To the west of the old fort, people say it is the Red Cliff where Zhou Lang defeated Cao Bing during the Three Kingdoms period.

The shore is lined with rocks, as if they are about to pierce the sky. Amazing huge waves are crashing on the river bank, and the waves are like thousands of piles of white snow. The majestic mountains and rivers were as beautiful as pictures, and many heroes emerged in one time.

Thinking back to the time when Zhou Yu was so proud of his spring breeze, Xiao Qiao had just married him as his wife, and she looked heroic, graceful, and radiant. With a hand-held feather fan and a silk scarf on his head, he burned the powerful enemy's warship to ashes while talking and laughing.

Now I am wandering in the past on the ancient battlefield. It is ridiculous that I have so much nostalgic tenderness that my hair on the temples is turning gray before I get old. Life is like a dream, let me pour a glass of wine to pay homage to the bright moon on the river.

3. Jiang Chengzi·Jiang Chengzi's dream on the night of the 20th day of the first lunar month of Yi Mao

Song Dynasty: Su Shi

Ten years of life and death are so vast that they cannot be forgotten without thinking. Thousands of miles of lonely tomb, no place to speak of desolation. Even if we meet, we should not know each other, our faces are covered with dust and our temples are like frost.

At night, I suddenly returned home with a deep dream, and I was dressing up outside the small window. They looked at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears. It is expected that every year, at the place where the intestines are broken, on a bright moonlit night, there will be short pines.

Translation:

It has been ten years since we said goodbye. We cannot bear to miss each other but we will never forget them. The lonely grave is thousands of miles away, and there is no place to express the sadness and desolation in my heart. Even if you and I meet as husband and wife, I'm afraid you won't recognize me. My face is covered with dust and my temples are as frosty as I am running around.

I returned to my hometown in my dream last night and saw you dressing up in the mirror in front of the small window. You and I were silent and speechless, only we shed a thousand lines of tears. I expected that your heart would break for me every year, on that cold moonlit night, on that lonely short pine hill.

4. Jiangchengzi·Mizhou Hunting

Song Dynasty: Su Shi

I chatted like a teenager, holding the yellow on the left and the blue on the right. Brocade hats and mink fur coats, thousands of cavalry rolling around Pinggang. In order to repay Qingcheng, he followed the prefect, shot tigers himself, and watched Sun Lang.

What’s the problem if you’re drunk, your chest is still open, and your temples are slightly frosted? In the cloud of Chijie, when will Feng Tang be sent? He can hold the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf.

Translation:

Let me express the heroic ambition of the young man. He is holding a yellow dog in his left hand, holding a goshawk in his right arm, wearing a gorgeous and bright hat and a mink fur coat. , sweeping the flat hills with his entourage like the wind. In order to repay the kindness of the people in the city for following me on hunting expeditions, I will kill the tiger myself like Sun Quan did.

I drank a lot of wine, my mind was open, my courage became bolder, my temples turned slightly white, what's the problem? When will the emperor send someone down to trust me just like Emperor Wen of Han sent Feng Tang to Yunzhong to pardon Wei Shang? At that time, I will try my best to draw the carved bow as full as the full moon, aim at the northwest, and shoot at the Xixia army.

5. Huanxisha·Visit Qishui Qingquan Temple

Song Dynasty: Su Shi

Visit Qishui Qingquan Temple. The temple is adjacent to Lanxi River, which flows west.

At the foot of the mountain, the orchid buds are soaked in the stream, the sandy road among the pines is clean and mudless, and the raindrops are crying at dusk.

Who said there is no less in life? The water flowing in front of the door can still flow to the west! Stop singing yellow chicken with white hair.

Translation: Visit Qingquan Temple in Qishui. The temple is next to Lanxi River, which flows to the west.

The new buds of orchid grass at the foot of the mountain are soaked in the stream. The sandy road among the pine forests is washed by the rain and is spotless. In the evening, there is a drizzle and the sound of cuckoo.

Who says life can’t go back to being a teenager? The stream in front of the door can still flow to the west! Don’t lament the passage of time in old age!
