Calligraphy. Tang Poetry 006: A Gift for Wei Ba Chu Shi.

Du Fu

It is almost as difficult for friends to meet each other as the stars in the morning and evening.

Tonight is a rare event, and this lamp is candlelight.

Two men who were young not long ago are now gray at the temples.

It shocked us to find that half of our friends had died, which made us sad.

We didn't expect that it would be twenty years before I could come to see you again.

You were unmarried when I left, but now these boys and girls are in a row.

They were very kind to their father's old friends. They asked me where I went during the trip.

Then, when we talked for a while, they brought me wine and dishes.

Spring chives are cut in the night rain, and brown rice is cooked fresh in a special way.

My host announced that it was a festival, and he urged me to drink ten cups.

But what kind of ten glasses of wine can make me so drunk, because your love is always in my heart. .

The mountains will separate us tomorrow. Who can say for sure after tomorrow? .

Explanation:

Participants: Can Xing, Shang Xing, and the names of 28 stars.

Hot midfield: inner excitement and sadness.

Father: My father's good friend.

Intention: the love of old friends.

Life is separated, and we can't meet each other, just like the remnant stars and the upper stars in the sky. What's a good day tonight? Let's get together by candlelight. How many youthful and energetic years can there be? In a blink of an eye, you and I have cleared the air. Looking for old friends and relatives, most of them have passed away. I have to sigh. Who would have thought that twenty years later, I came to your hall again. You were a teenager when you left, and now you have a child. They treated their father's old friends with great joy and kindly asked me where I came from. Before telling all the past stories, the children have set the table and wine. I braved the rainy night to cut fresh leeks and presented the newly cooked yellow rice for me to taste. The host cherished the difficulty of getting together and drank again and again. I haven't drunk after drinking more than ten cups in a row. What moves me is that your feelings for your old friends are still deep. After leaving tomorrow, we will be blocked by mountains again, and I don't know when and where to meet again.
