May 5th is the Dragon Boat Festival, and you gave me a wormwood. The dead can't see, and new friends are far away.

Letters sent to Luoyang city are often not delivered, and wars often do not stop. May two carp win Yue Longmen Spring.

2. Translation

At noon on the fifth day of May, someone gave me a wormwood. I can't see the old friends I miss, but the new friends are thousands of miles away. It is difficult to write to them, and the war has not stopped. I would like to become a pair of carp, and I can skip Longmen Lake and become a dragon.

In May, pomegranate flowers are enchanting and withered, and poplars fall with rain. Five-color new silk package jiaozi. Send a golden plate, and draw a double phoenix on a fan plate.

It is the time to bathe orchids, the calamus wine is beautiful and clear, and the oriole in the leaves is cooked once. How to pronounce the water tune song? The king of Chu has a thin waist.

Durian in May is as red as roasted, and the green willows droop after the rain. Jiaozi is wrapped in five colors of new silk. Send it up with a gold plate and a fan made of raw silk, with the design of double phoenix painted on it.

It's time to take a bath with orchids. Acorus calamus wine is very fragrant and delicious. Let's raise our glasses and drink together. In the leaves, orioles sing from time to time. How can I sing a good tune? King Chu really likes women with thin waists.

Third, Willow by the Water in May-Cui Hu

1, original text

The roots are elegant and the shadows are shallow. Sleeping face is cold and stretching is softer.

The empty column is heavy and the water is scattered. See Hong Fei's shadow is empty, which makes old friends pity.

2. Translation

Willow is rooted on the river bank, and the hanging branches and leaves cover the clear shallow water. Willow branches, like sleeping faces, are not fully unfolded. In sunny weather, they are softer and lazier. The willow branches are swaying in the air, and they have grown very thick, and the willow branches that have been brushed with water have also spread out. I can't see the shadow of Hong Fei, so I can only let my old friends pity this beautiful scenery.
