Memories of Shandong Brothers on September 9

Dynasty: Tang Dynasty

Author: Wang Wei

Original text:

Alone in a foreign land, I miss my relatives twice as much at festivals.

It is not easy to know where my brothers climbed up to the top of the mountain, but I have to stick cornelian dogs all over the place and there is less of them.

Translation

There is always a little bit of sadness when you are far away from home alone, and every time you come to the festival, you will miss your relatives twice as much.

Far from the thought of brothers wearing cornelian cherry on the high place, also because less I have a feeling of regret.
