The classic poem of gathering old friends.

1, I advise you to drink one more glass of wine and go out of Yangguan for no reason. —— From Song of Anxi/Acropolis, the Song of Sending Yuan Er Shi, by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty.

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: I sincerely advise my friends to have another glass of wine. It's hard to see old relatives when I leave Yangguan in the west this time.

There is a glimmer of green in the old bottle and a hint of red in the quiet stove. With dusk and snow coming, how about a glass of wine? -From the Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi's A Proposal for My Friend Liu

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: My newly brewed rice wine has not been filtered, and there is a layer of green bubbles on the surface of the wine, which smells fragrant. A small red mud stove for scalding wine is also ready. It's cloudy. It seems to snow at night. Can you stay and have a drink with me?

Prepare chicken and rice for me, old friend. You entertain me on your farm. Green Woods surround the village and green hills are located outside the city. Open the window facing the valley vegetable garden and pass the glass to talk about crops. —— From the Tang Dynasty: Meng Haoran's Passing the Old Village

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: An old friend prepared a sumptuous meal and invited me to his hospitable farmhouse. Green Woods surround the village and green mountains span the city. Open the window to the grain field and vegetable garden and raise a glass to talk about crops.

4, it is almost as difficult for friends to meet as the stars in the morning and evening. Tonight is a rare event, and this lamp is candlelight. -From the Tang Dynasty: Du Fu's "Eight Guards for Chu Shi"

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: it is often difficult to meet each other thousands of miles apart, just as a star rarely meets a commercial star. Tonight is another auspicious day. Let's talk by candlelight.

When the autumn moon is full, a thousand nights in towns and villages. People doubt that it is a dream meeting to meet Jiangnan in the capital. The autumn wind disturbs the branches, and the cold cries in the grass. Tourists wandering outside should have been drunk and stayed with each other for fear that the bell would ring. -Excerpted from Dai Shulun in Tang Dynasty: A Collection of Old Friends in the Night.

The autumn moon is round, and the night in the city is deep. You and I met in Jiangnan, and I doubt it was a dream meeting. The evening breeze shook the branches and alarmed the birds and magpies living there. Autumn grass covered with frost and dew, accompanied by sad cold insects. You and I are in a foreign land, so we should drink to relieve our worries, and let you drink for a long time to remember the past, only worried that the bell will ring at dawn.
