The misty misty rain spreads all over the Wudi and Jiangtian all night long; I see you off early in the morning, and I feel so sad about leaving Chushan alone! My friend, if my relatives and friends in Luoyang ask about me, just say that I am still as cold as a jade pot and stick to my faith!

My old friend waved goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower, and went on a long trip to Yangzhou in March when catkins were like smoke and flowers were blooming.

The city gate assists the Three Qin Dynasties, and the wind and smoke look out to Wujin.

If you do nothing, you will be on the wrong road, and your children will be stained with towels.

The majestic Chang'an occupies the land of the Three Qin Dynasties; the insignificant Sichuan is far away.

You and I have similar fates, running for official careers and being far away from home.

As long as you have close friends, the world will never feel far away. Even though we are far away from each other, we feel like we are close neighbors.

Breaking up on the road, there is really no need to shed tears on the clothes because of the long love between children.
