- SPRING EARLY EARLY – Meng Haoran (689-740)
spring dawn –Meng Haoran (689-740)
spring dream. I don't notice the dawn
until trills sound everywhere.
Last night I heard a rain shower with its noise.
Dime: how many flowers will fallen?
Spring sleep without dawn
Singing birds everywhere
The sound of wind and rain at night
How many flowers have fallen?
- WALKING ALONE ON THE SHORE IN SEARCH OF FLOWERS – Du Fu (712-770)
Walking alone by the river looking for flowers –Du Fu (712- 770）
Huang Si’s natal family is full of flowers
Thousands of flowers weigh down the branches
The butterflies dance all the time
The oriole cries at ease
The flowers look more beautiful.
The girls, excited,
They paint and embroider them on silk screens.
They take them out to the spring garden.
From the willow branch comes down,
seduced, an oriole.
- JOY FOR THE RAIN ON A SPRING NIGHT– Du Fu (712-770)
Happy rainy spring night –Du Fu（712- 770）
What a timely rain! Welcome.
You arrive just in the spring.
with the breeze, you slip into the black night.
Quiet, you distribute freshness and lozone.
Good rain knows the season，When spring happens。
Sneak into the night with the wind，Moisturizes things silently。
The wild paths are dark with clouds，Efuneka Domei。
Look at the red wet spot at dawn，Huazhong Jinguancheng。
- FLOWER WITHOUT BEING FLOWER – Go Juyi (772-842)
flower non-flower –Bai Juyi (772-842)
It is a flower without being a flower,
fog without being fog.
At midnight it arrives,
And it leaves with the dawn.
It comes like a dream of spring:
Very little lasts.
It leaves like a morning cloud:
Leaves no trace.
flower non-flower，Fog is not fog；
Come in the middle of the night，Go at dawn。
How long has it been like a spring dream??
Going like a morning cloud with nowhere to find。
- GARMENTS OF GOLD THREADS – Du Qiuliang (siglo IX)
gold thread clothing –Du Qiuniang
Even if they are made of gold threads,
don't give so much importance to your clothes.
But yes at every hour and moment
Of your lush adolescence
Flowers must be picked on time.
But, you will be left only with dry branches.
I advise you not to cherish your gold-threaded clothes
I advise you to cherish your youth
Flowers bloom and must be folded
Don’t wait until there are no flowers and no branches.
- New Year's Day – Wang Anshi (1021 – 1086)
"New Year's Day" –Wang Anshi
Among fireworks, the old year says goodbye
the spring wind comes with the heat of liquor
All the families are celebrating
and changing the decorations with good wishes for the new year
One year old is eliminated amidst the sound of firecrackers
The spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu
Thousands of households on the same day
Always replace old charms with new ones
