The sons and daughters of China have lofty ambitions, preferring military uniforms to makeup. 5. You are buried beneath the earth, your bones turned to dust, while I remain in this world, my head covered in snow. 6.

I return your pearl with tears streaming down my face; I regret that we did not meet before I was married. 17. Drunk, I pick up my sword by lamplight; in my dreams, I hear the bugles of the camp. 18. With lofty ambitions, I will feast on the flesh of the barbarians and drink their blood. 19. May I be like a star and you like the moon, shining brightly together every night. 20. People have sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon has its phases of waxing and waning; nothing in this world is ever perfect. 21. Do not say that women are not heroic; every night, the Longquan sword sings on the wall. These are the current entries; there should be more to be added later.
