Tang Dynasty: Yan Zhenqing

Every day when the cock crows, it is the best time for boys to read.

Teenagers only know how to play, but don't know how to study hard. When they are old, they regret why they didn't know how to study hard when they were young.

Translation:

Midnight is the best time for boys to study every day. When I was a teenager, I only knew how to play and didn't know how to study hard. When I was old, I regretted why I didn't know how to study hard when I was young.

3. "Huanxisha, a new word and a glass of wine"

Song Dynasty: Yan Shu

A new song and a glass of wine, the weather was old last year. When will the sunset come back?

There is nothing to do, flowers bloom and fall, and it seems familiar that Yan returns. Wandering alone in the small garden, fragrant path.

Translation:

Listen to a new song and drink a glass of wine, or the old pavilion of last year's weather. When will the sunset come back? Flowers bloom and fall, and I can't help it. The returning swallows seem to know each other and wander alone on the flower path of the small garden.

4. "Long song"

Han Dynasty: Anonymous

The trees in the garden are lush, and the crystal dew rises in the sun. Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity.

I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither. The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?

If young people don't work in time, they will only regret for life when they are old.

Translation:

Sunflowers in the garden are lush, and Ran Ran rises in the glittering and translucent morning sun. Spring scatters hope all over the earth, and everything shows prosperity. I am always afraid that the cold autumn will come, the leaves will turn yellow and the grass will wither. When can a hundred rivers run to the sea and return to the west? If young people don't work hard in time, they will only regret it for a lifetime when they are old.

5. "Persuasive Poetry/Unexpected Achievement"

Song: Zhu

The days of youth are easy to pass away, and learning is difficult to succeed, so cherish every inch of time and don't let it go easily.

Before the sweet spring grass grows in the pond, the plane leaves in front of the steps have rustled in the autumn wind.

Translation:

The days of youth are easy to pass, but learning is difficult to succeed, so cherish every inch of time and don't let it go easily. The dream of growing spring grass in the pond is still awake, and the leaves of plane trees rustle in the autumn wind in front of the steps.
