Ancient poems about folk customs

1, vacationing in the mountains reminds me of my brothers in Shandong.

Author Wang Wei, Tang Dynasty

I am a lonely stranger in a strange land, and I miss my family more often during the holidays.

When I think of my brothers' bodies climbing high, I will feel a little regret for not being able to reach me.

It's a pity that I was the only one with dogwood in my head when my brothers climbed the mountain today.

Translation comparison

Looking far from the sky, you can see the clear sky in Wan Li without a cloud.

Ghost woman flies to a place with light and takes a cold dip for a day.

Yuyu Qionglou, coming and going from Luan, people are in Liangguo.

Mountains and rivers are picturesque, and smoke trees are vivid.

I was drunk, clapped my hands and sang wildly, and invited the moon arm in arm. I became three guests.

Dancing and wandering in the wind, I don't know what kind of night it will be

I want to return by wind, so I don't need to ride Peng Yi.

In the Crystal Palace, the flute was blown off with a loud sound.

Vernacular translation:

Seen from the tall buildings, the sky in Wan Li is cloudless in Wan Li, which is even more boundless. The moon fell from the sky, immersing the autumn blue sky in a cold. On the Jade Palace in Qionglou, fairies and couples are free to go in and out. I yearn for the purity and freedom in the moon palace, and the beautiful mountains and rivers are picturesque. Looking over, the trees are swaying in the dim moonlight.

I was drunk, clapping my hands and beating the time, singing wildly and inviting the bright moon to celebrate the festival together, and the neighborhood and the bright moon became bosom friends. Wandering and dancing in such a gentle breeze, I do not know when. So I thought I could leave completely in this wind, so why ride the wings of Dapeng bird? In the clear moon palace, the flute is blowing all over the sky.
