Poetry about the infinity of heaven, earth, universe and the insignificance of life

1. Send the ephemera into the sky and into the ground, a drop in the ocean.

From the Song Dynasty poet Su Shi's "Thousand Red Cliffs Fu"

Excerpts from the original text

Qianchibi Fu

Su Shi's face was sad and sad, so he sat up in a corner and asked the guest, "How do you know?" ? "The guest said," There are few stars on the moon, and blackbirds fly south. "Isn't this Cao Mengde's poem? Looking at Xiakou in the west and Wuchang in the east, the mountains and rivers are misty and gloomy. Isn't this because Meng Zhizhi was trapped in Zhou Lang? Fang Qi broke Jingzhou and went down to Jiangling, downstream to the east. He was thousands of miles long, wearing a flag, drinking wine and singing poems across the river, and became a hero in the world. Now, where is he?

My son and I are fishing on the river, making friends with fish, shrimp and elk, keeping a boat and keeping bottles for each other. It's a drop in the ocean to send a mayfly into the earth. I lament my life for a while and admire the infinity of the Yangtze River for a while. Fly with the flying fairy, hold the bright moon, and grow up. I couldn't understand it at the moment, but I heard about it in Hengtai. "

I also looked sad, adjusted my skirt and sat up straight, asking the guest, "Why is the flute so sad?" The guest replied: "The moon stars are rare, and birds fly south." Isn't this a poem by Cao Gong and Meng De? From here, you can see Xiakou in the west and Wuchang in the east. The mountains and rivers are contiguous, and at first glance, it is gloomy. Isn't that where Cao Mengde was besieged by Zhou Yu?

At the beginning, Jingzhou was captured, Jiangling was captured, and it went down the Yangtze River. His warships are connected end to end, stretching for thousands of miles, with flags covering the sky. Facing the great river, he poured wine and recited poems with a spear. He used to be a contemporary hero, but where is he now? Besides, you and I are fishing and chopping wood in a small continent in the middle of the river, with fish and shrimp as partners and elk as friends. We are driving this boat on the river, raising cups and toasting each other, just like a mayfly in the vast world, as small as a millet in the sea.

Alas, sighing that our life is only a short moment, we can't help but envy the endless Yangtze River. I want to travel around the world hand in hand with the gods and embrace the bright moon forever. Knowing that these can't be realized after all, I have to turn my regret into a flute and entrust it to the sad autumn wind. "

2. The sky is vast and the universe is infinite.

Preface to Wang Tengting by Wang Bo, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

Excerpts from the original text

Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion

The distance is smooth and it is easy to fly. Cool breeze blowing gently, singing white clouds. There are bamboos in Suiyuan, which makes Peng Ze angry. Shui Ye Zhu Hua, a pen shining in Linchuan. Four beautiful things, two are difficult to combine. Poor in the sky, leisure is very entertaining. The sky is vast and the universe is infinite; Joy begets sorrow and knowledge is empty. Looking at Chang 'an in the sun, the martial arts will meet in the clouds. The terrain is deep in the South Pole, high in Tianzhu and far from Beichen. It is difficult to climb mountains and mountains, and whoever loses his way is sad; Meet by chance, full of foreign guests. When I miss the emperor, what year was I in the mysterious room?

Looking at the distance, my heart suddenly felt comfortable, and my transcendental interest immediately rose. The flute brings a gentle breeze, and the soft song brings floating white clouds. Today's feast is like the elegant collection of Liangyuan in those days. Everyone drinks more than Tao Yuanming. The bachelor of arts who attended the banquet, like Cao Zhi, wrote such a beautiful poem as Zhu Huayong's Rushing into the Green Pool, and his romantic literary talent reflected Xie Lingyun's poetic style. Music and diet, articles and words are all ready, and its beautiful and pleasant moments are also supplemented.

Look at the sky and enjoy the holiday. The sky is vast, which makes people feel that the universe is boundless. When joy passed away and sadness struck, I realized that everything has a fixed fate in its ups and downs. From a distance, Chang 'an sank into the sunset, and from a distance, Wu Jun was hidden in the clouds.

The geographical location is extremely remote, the South China Sea is particularly deep, Tianzhu is towering on Kunlun Mountain, and the north pole of the night sky is far away. This mountain is difficult to cross. Who sympathizes with me, a frustrated person? Occasionally meet, all guests from other places. I miss the door of the palace, but I was not called. When can I serve the king in the propaganda room like Jia Yi?

3. Look up at the size of the universe and overlook the richness of categories.

From the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion by Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty.

Excerpts from the original text

handicraftsmen

It's sunny, sunny and breezy. Looking up at the size of the universe and overlooking the variety, it's enough to enjoy watching and listening. I believe in coke.

On this day, the weather is fine, the air is fresh and the weather is sunny. Look up at the vastness of the universe, look down at many things on the earth, broaden your horizons and broaden your mind. It's really happy.

4. When we crossed to Lu 'an, the world was doomed.

From the Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji's "Drunken Flower Yin Huang Huaman Say Happy New Year"

Original poem

Drunk Yin Huang Flower People Say "Happy New Year"

Huang Huaman said, Happy every year. And Qiu Guang is old. Green temples can't frighten autumn. If you fight in front of a statue, people will laugh.

What do you know about flat peaches? Who lives in Sanshan Island? When I crossed to Lu 'an, the sea flew and the world was destroyed.

translate

Chrysanthemums, let alone bloom every year, you will wither with the passage of autumn time. The girl's black hair and blue hair don't know the ruthlessness of time. When she drinks wine, people will laugh when they have good flowers. How many peaches are planted on the peach tree? It's all Sanshan Island where my family lives. When can I step back to my hometown? The vicissitudes of life in the world, like a speck of dust, all end in fate.

There, the sea floats in the sky, and you disappear from the world on your fragile boat.

From Song Dynasty poet Qian Qi's Send a Monk to Japan.

Original poem

Send the monk back to Japan

You can come to China whenever you have the opportunity; The road is foggy and the ship is sailing in a dream.

Tianhai floated up again, and the boat sailed to the edge of the distance; Beyond the mundane, you will naturally feel the light of Fa Zhou.

The mood is quiet, and everything is as unreal as water and moon; The inner government of Shiguo will come out to listen to your chanting.

The most lovely thing is that there is a Buddha lamp that illuminates the soul; Sailing in Wan Li, your eyes are always bright.

You can come to China whenever you have the opportunity; It was foggy all the way, and the ship seemed to sail in a dream. The sea rises and falls, and the boat sails to the edge of the distance; Outside the secular world, you will naturally feel the lightness of Fa Zhou. The mood is calm and peaceful, and everything is illusory like water and moon; The ichthyosaurs in the sea will also come out to listen to your chanting. The most lovely thing is that there is a Buddha lamp that illuminates the heart; Sailing in Wan Li, the eyes are always bright and bright.
