Late return at the Lake Pavilion by Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty

As long as I lie in the lake and pavilion, I have little business to do.

I'll wake up drunk and wait for the cool night.

Pine rain and rattan hat, river wind through Ge clothes.

Willow embankment line not tired, sand soft Xu Fei Fei.

Song sushi, the drunken book of Wanghu building on June 27

The black clouds turn over the mountains, and the white rain jumps into the boat.

The rolling wind came and blew away, and the water of Wanghu building was in the sky.

Release fish and birds, chase people, no master lotus everywhere.

The water wave can make the mountain pitch, and the sail is like the moon.

If you don't become a great hermit or a middle hermit, you can have a long leisure time better than a short leisure time.

I didn't have a home to go to. I didn't have such good lakes and mountains in my hometown.

Autumn moon in Pinghu sun Rui, Song Dynasty

The moon is cold and the spring is not flowing,

Where to go back to the boat.

In the west wind,

The lake is shining in autumn.

Autumn moon in Pinghu

The spring water is green as oil, and the new moth is light and soft.

Waiting for heavy life line autumn, full of gold wave Wanli flow.
