Ancient poems about crickets
Pre-Qin (Anon.
Crickets in the church, years and years.
Now I am not happy, the sun and the moon are divided.
There is no great health, and the job thinks of its residence.
Good fun, good man Qu Qu.
Crickets are in the church, and they have passed away at an early age.
I am not happy today, the sun is going to be gone.
Nothing has been greatly improved, and the profession is outside.
There is no shortage of happiness, and the good people are trampled.
Crickets are in the church, and the service car is resting.
Now I am not happy, the sun and the moon are worried.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Think about it.
Good fun, good people rest.
Xiao Chong Shan (Yue Fei)
Last night the cold worms couldn't stop chirping.
Shocked back to a thousand miles of dreams, has been three more.
Get up and walk around the stairs alone.
People quietly, outside the curtain of the moon.
White head for meritorious name.
Old mountain pine bamboo old, block the return journey.
I want to put my heart to Yaoqin.
Know less, the strings are broken, who listens. cricket:
Crying through the eaves spinning lady,
Cool breezes rise at the beginning of the night.
Concerned with the clams then cried,
Tomorrow with the cage to fill the wall
Qiuxing (Land Tour)
Peng artemisia gate lane is passing by, who will meet with the song in the early night?
The crickets know that autumn is early, and the plantains are getting a lot of rain.
Heirloom legacy rich, cynical drunken face.
Will it be a fool or not? No detractory of heaven and earth.
