Li Shutong (modern)
Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the knowledge of the half-scattered. A pot of turbid wine is all over the place, don't dream cold tonight.
Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green. Ask the jun when to come here, and when he comes, don't linger.
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the knowledge of the half-scattered. Life is rare to have a happy gathering, but there is no separation.
