Pear Blossoms

By Wen Xian (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

Green shades stretch late on Cold Food Day,

White blooms fill the garden all the way.

A grove surmounts the river plain.

Who shares this wine and grief I keep?

The Pear Tree

By Li Jiao (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

It bears fine grace beneath dim celestial glow,

Its sweet scent spreads to desert lands far to go.

Patterned boughs adorn the distant border land,

It would win Zhang Gong's praising phrase.

By Cen Shen (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

We pour rich wine by Weicheng's tavern gate,

Drunk on fine brew, I linger late.

The new moon shall grow round when you reach your door.

Ballad of Gathered Woes （Excerpt）

By Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

At fifteen, my heart still held childish delight,

I ran fast as yellow calves from dawn till night.

August brought ripe pears and jujubes to court trees,

A thousand times I climbed the branches with ease.

Now fifty years slip past in fleeting haste,

I stand and walk scarce, sit down to waste.

I force smiles to offer my master cheer,

All griefs of life converge on my worn sphere.

My house stands bare, four walls empty and thin,

My wife wears the same sorrowful look as kin.

My young boy knows no filial rite nor rule,

Cries, rages, begs for food beside the eastern stool.

Appreciation: Recalling joyful childhood pear-climbingcontrasts sharply with present poverty and a hungry child. The stark shiftevokes profound grief.

15. 杜甫《竖子至》（节选）

The Servant Boy Comes（Excerpt）

By Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

Green mountain pears hang unripe on each bough,

Plums and apricots half blush golden now.

My lad comes from secluded garden ground,

Light basket bears ripe crabapples' scent around.

Mountain breeze and dew still fill his palm,

Wild dewy fruit he tastes, fresh and calm.

I long to send this fruit to wandering friends,

Bear sweet gifts through long unending days.

Appreciation: Half-ripe fruits picked by a servantboy—the poet wishes to share them with distant friends but faces endless roads.Simple words carry deep care.
