Drinking, Part Five
Jielu is in a human environment, without the noise of cars and horses.
How can I ask you? The heart deviates from the distance.

Shanjuqiuming
The empty mountain is bathed in new rain, and the arrival of night makes people feel that it is early autumn.
The bright moon shines among the pine trees, and clear springs and rocks flow upwards.
The bamboo noise returns to the washing woman, and the lotus moves down the fishing boat.
Rest freely in spring, Wang Sun can stay.
The whole poem blends the autumn coolness after the rain in the empty mountains, the bright moon shining through the pine trees, the sound of clear springs on the rocks, and the laughter of the washing girl returning to the bamboo forest. The dynamic of the fishing boat passing through the lotus flowers is harmoniously and perfectly integrated, giving people a rich and fresh feeling.

Farewell to School Shushu Yun at Xiepi Tower in Xuanzhou
Those who abandon me cannot keep yesterday's day;
Those who disturb my heart, today is full of worries.
The long wind sends autumn geese for thousands of miles, which can be enjoyed by tall buildings.
Penglai's articles are firmly established, with a small thank you in the middle and clear hair.
With a sense of ease and prosperity, I yearn to fly and ascend to the blue sky to embrace the bright moon.
Drawing a knife to cut off water makes water flow more, raising a cup to dispel sorrow makes sorrow even more.
Life is meaningless in this world, and in the Ming Dynasty, people would play with flat boats.
The whole poem is like a song and a narration, with emotions fluctuating and profound, with twists and turns. The composition is full of ups and downs, with no end in sight or interruption. The language is clear and simple, and the tone is vigorous and high, achieving a harmonious unity of boldness and nature.
Du Fu

Climbing High
The wind is strong and the tall ape howls mournfully, while the clear sand white bird flies back.
The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower;The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour.
Thousands of miles of sorrowful autumn often visit, a hundred years of illness alone on stage.
Difficulty, bitterness, and resentment make one's hair frosty, and a new turbid wine cup appears disheveled.
This poem not only has just the right balance in terms of tone, intonation, and rhyme, but also has eight lines of dialogue, with a strong and melodious tone and powerful and melancholic characters; On this basis, it is extremely rare to be able to depict the sadness of autumn scenery as if it were in a state of immersion.

Pipa Xing
Sending off guests at night at the head of Xunyang River, with maple leaves, reeds, and flowers rustling in autumn. The master dismounted from the horse and the guest was on the boat, holding up wine and wanting to drink without an orchestra. If you can't get drunk, you'll bid farewell. When you leave, the vast river will soak in the moon. Suddenly hearing the sound of a pipa on the water, the host forgot to return as a guest. Searching for the sound and secretly asking who the player is, the sound of the pipa stops and the desire to speak is delayed. Move the ship closer and invite each other to meet, add wine and return to the lamp to restart the banquet. After a thousand calls, he came out, still holding a pipa and half covering his face. Three or two sounds of plucking the strings on the pivot, before the melody is formed, there is emotion. The strings obscure the sound of thoughts, as if recounting a lifetime of unfulfilled aspirations. The low brow letter continued the procedure, expressing the infinite things in my heart. Gently gather, slowly twist, wipe, and pick again, initially for "Nishang" and later for "Liuyao". The big strings make a loud noise like a sudden rain, while the small strings whisper softly. The noise is mixed with bullets, big and small beads falling onto the jade plate. The language of the warbler in the passage is slippery, and the faint throat of the spring is difficult to swallow under the ice. The ice spring is cold, astringent, and the strings are frozen, without any sound, temporarily resting. Don't have any melancholy or resentment, silence is better than sound at this moment. The silver bottle burst with a burst of water, and the iron cavalry protruded with the sound of knives and guns. At the end of the song, be careful when drawing, the four strings sound like torn silk. The east ship and west boat are silent, only seeing the autumn moon in the heart of the river. Contemplate and insert the strings, adjust your clothes to enhance your appearance. She is, she says, a girl from the capital whose family once lived at the foot of Toad Hill. Thirteen learned to play the pipa, and it is known as the first part of the teaching workshop. Qu Ba once taught talented people how to dress up, and she was envied by Qiuniang for her makeup. Wuling was young, vying for attention and playing an unknown number of red silk threads. The silver grates on the mother's head were shattered, and the blood red skirt was stained with wine. This year's laughter will repeat next year, with autumn, moon, spring breeze and other leisurely moments. My younger brother went to join the army and my aunt passed away, leaving me with a color that never fades away. The Pommeled Horse is rare in front of the door, and the eldest is married as a businesswoman. Merchants prioritize profit over separation. They went to Fuliang to buy tea last month. Go to Jiangkou to guard the empty boat and circumnavigate it. The moon is bright and the river is cold. In the deep of the night, I suddenly had a dream about my youth, crying, makeup, tears turning red and dry. I sighed when I heard the pipa, and then heard the words chirping again. We are both fallen people from the ends of the earth, why have we ever met before! I resigned from the imperial capital last year and was exiled to Xunyang City due to illness. Xunyang is a remote place with no music, and I will never hear the sound of silk and bamboo until the end of my life. Living near the Pen River in low humidity, yellow reeds and bitter bamboo surround the house. What did you hear during the twilight period? The cuckoo cries and the blood ape laments. On spring river flower days and autumn moon nights, one often drinks alone. Is there no mountain song or village flute? Naughty and mocking sounds are unpleasant to listen to. Tonight, hearing Jun's pipa language is like listening to immortal music, and my ears are temporarily enlightened. Mo Ci sat down and played a song, translating it into "The Song of Pipa" for you. Feeling my words standing for a long time, but sitting down makes the strings turn faster. Melancholy
Unlike the sound of moving forward, everyone in the room was filled with tears upon hearing it. Who cries the most in the seat? Jiangzhou Sima's green shirt is wet.
This is a popular masterpiece of realism, with characters as clues throughout the text, depicting both the life of the pipa girl and the poet's feelings, and then converging on the two sentences of "they are both fallen people from the ends of the earth". The tragic experience of the singer is written very specifically, which can be considered as a clear line; The poet's emotions permeate between the lines, creating layers of waves with the music played by the pipa girl and the constant changes in her background, which can be considered as a hidden thread. This combination of brightness and darkness, reality and illusion, creates ups and downs in the plot. The story it narrates is intricate and touching, expressing emotions that can resonate with people. The language is beautiful but not flashy, refined but not obscure, and the content is close to life but has broad sociality, which is appreciated by both the refined and the popular.

When is it time for spring flowers and autumn moon, Yu Meiren
When will the endless cycle of the spring flower and the autumn moon come to an end? How much do you know about the past.
Last night, there was another east wind in Xiaolou, so the country cannot look back on the bright moon.
The carved railing and jade masonry should still exist, only the vermilion color has been changed.
How much worry can you have? It's like a spring river flowing eastward.

The great river flows eastward, the waves wash away, and a timeless figure. To the west of the fortress, it is said that the Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms is Red Cliff. Rocks pierce through the air, waves crash against the shore, and a thousand piles of snow roll up. The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and there were many heroes at that time.
Back in the days when Gong Jin was married, Xiao Qiao was young and handsome. Feather fans and silk scarves, while chatting and laughing, the sails and oars were scattered in smoke. A divine journey to my homeland, full of love should laugh at me, early born with beautiful hair. Life is like a dream, with a moon still shining on the river.

Slow Sound, Searching and Seeking
Searching, searching, desolate, and sorrowful. It's most difficult to rest when it's warm or cold. Three glasses and two glasses of light wine, how can they compete with him? The wind is strong at night! Yan Guoye is sad, but we met in the past.
The yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, withered and worn. Who can pick them now? Guarding the window, how can one be alone and live in darkness! Wutong also has drizzle, which drizzles in the dusk. This time, how can I express my sorrow.
This poem is grand and comprehensive, without any branches or vines. When it comes to related events one by one, it always closely follows the meaning of autumn sadness, deeply capturing the essence of the Six Dynasties' lyrical poems. It uses a simple and fresh language that is close to spoken language to compose new sounds, and uses melancholic musical language to express emotions.

Eternal Joy: Remembering the Past at Jingkou Beigu Pavilion
Throughout history, heroes have never found the place of Sun Zhongmou. The dance stage, where the wind always blows away the wind and rain. The slanting sun on the grass and trees, an ordinary alleyway, was once inhabited by human slaves. Back in the day, Jin Ge Tie Ma was as angry as a tiger swallowing thousands of miles.
Yuanjia Grass Grass, granted the title of Wolf Ju Xu, and won the hasty Northern Expedition. In the forty third year, I still remember the beacon fire on Yangzhou Road. Looking back, under the Buddha's Laici Temple, there is a scene of divine crow community drums. Who can ask, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?
