A poem about a friend I haven't seen for a long time.

Tang dynasty: Gao Shi

Thousands of miles are dark, dark and faint, and the north wind blows snowflakes and heavy snow.

Don't worry about the road ahead, don't know the king of the world?

Translation:

Like a bird vacillating and feeling sorry for itself. It has been more than ten years since I left Beijing.

A gentleman is determined to win when he is poor, but he can't afford to pay for drinks when he meets today.

2. Meet Li Guinian at the lower reaches of the river.

Tang Dynasty: Du Fu

In the Qi family, I often see your performances; Before urging the wine hall, I praised your art many times. ?

Never thought, in this Jiangnan scenic area; It is the season of falling flowers, and I can meet you, an old acquaintance.

Translation:

I often watch your performances in the Qi Palace. In front of Cui, I have also appreciated your art many times.

Unexpectedly, there is a big Jiangnan in this landscape; When the flowers fall, I can meet you again and get to know each other.

3. Say goodbye to Shen Han at Yunyang Inn.

Tang Dynasty: Si Kongshu

How many years have passed since my old friend was in Jianghai?

Suddenly meet, but doubt is a dream, lament and ask each other's age.

Dim lights shone through the cold rain outside the window, and bamboo forests floated in the clouds in the distance.

But forget the sadness of tomorrow, and leave a cup to cherish.

Translation:

How many years have passed since I left my old friends in Jianghai, separated by mountains and rivers.

Suddenly meet, doubt is a dream, ask each other's age with sadness and sigh.

Cold rain outside the lonely lamp and dark window, clouds floating deep in the bamboo forest.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a feeling of parting from sadness and not hating, so it's rare to get together and have a glass of wine tonight.

4. "Autumn night moon, gathering and scattering in the initial time"

Song Dynasty: Liu Yong

At first, we were together. Then call it. There's no reason to see Iraq again. In recent days, I unexpectedly want to eat a big meal again. In respect and leisure, I gathered my eyebrows and sighed. Arouse old worries.

Yingying has tears in her eyes. It permeates my ears and gives off all kinds of bitterness. It's hard to see what's in your heart. When you believe the truth, there is no struggle. If you don't accept your heart, * * * Iraq will go on like this.

Translation:

When I left, I told you that I had no chance to see you again. Recently, I didn't expect us to meet again. In your spare time, you frown and sigh while drinking. I think of the infinite sadness of the old days.

There are tears in your eyes, and you whisper all kinds of resentment in my ear. But I am also very helpless, so I can't stay with you forever. When I have no scruples, I will always be with you.

5. "Old friends meet again"

Song Dynasty: Text Interpretation

I haven't seen my husband for forty years, so don't leave sadness in the middle.

It's better to meet each other again. It's rare to see each other.

Translation:

I haven't seen you for forty years, and there is a lot of sadness in it.

There's no need to be sentimental when we meet again. The hardest thing is that we can still meet when we are old.
