1, Yu Qian went to Beijing
Spaghetti mushrooms and incense are harmful to people.
The wind blows the sleeves to the sky, so don't talk short and long.
Translation:
Mushrooms, handkerchiefs and incense are for people. If officials use it to please their superiors, it will bring difficulties to people's daily needs. Being an innocent Beijing official won't make people poke their spine.
2. Li Shangyin's epic poems
Looking at the countries and families of former sages, they became thrifty and extravagant.
Why amber is a pillow, and real pearls are cars.
If you don't meet Qinghai horse, it's hard to pull out the snake in Shushan.
Several people sang songs in the south in advance, and finally Cangwu cried for Cui Hua.
Translation:
Throughout history, every wise country's success comes from thrift, and its decline comes from luxury.
Why do you have to use amber as a pillow? Why take pearls on horseback?
I wanted to travel far, but I didn't meet a maxima. It is difficult for me to pull a fierce snake in Shushan alone.
How many people have heard of Shun Di's Song of the South Wind? Forever and ever, only crying at the canopy in Cangwu.
3. Ji Xu's "Xie Zhangcaifu Bamboo Slip 1"
There is nothing to raise when I am old, and I am about to have a bamboo branch.
Sleeves full of clear wind and autumn moonlight, Tao Qian around the chrysanthemum fence.
Translation:
When I am old, but I have nothing to support my body, I need to find a bamboo pole as a crutch.
But there is nothing in the sleeve except the breeze and the bright moon, just like when Tao Yuanming was at the edge of the chrysanthemum fence.
4. Wei Chu's "Send Yang Jihai One"
Making friends is like silk, and the sleeves are covered with autumn wind and a bunch of poems.
When I go home tomorrow, someone asks, the blue shirt is not like when I was studying.
Translation:
My friend's sideburns are as white as silver and his sleeves are empty.
When my family asked me when I would go home tomorrow, my blue shirt was not what I looked like when I was studying.
