Luan Feng's Top Recommendations

Virtue is all that matters. By chance, amidst the dust of the capital, among noble families clad in black. I have wine only to pour upon the soil of Zhao, but who will understand this sentiment? If you do not believe me, then let us become confidants. With bright eyes and high songs, we are both not yet old; before the wine, we wipe away the tears of heroes. Do you not see it? The moon is like water.

Huo Huo's Book List

At dawn, snow and clear flutes rise in confusion. In dreams I wander, unaware of where I am. Silent iron cavalry stretches like water. I think of the passes and rivers: west of Yanmen, reaching to Qinghai.

Good Books Take Dedication

I sleep beside a cold lamp. The dripping clepsydra falls silent, and the moon slants across the window paper. I once believed I would win a marquisate ten thousand miles away. Who knows that though my temples are gray, my heart is not yet dead?

Don't Miss Ting Shui's Good Books

Petal by petal, the butterfly-like blossoms are light; speck by speck, the scarlet centers are small. They say Heaven does not begrudge the flowers, yet creates them in a hundred ingenious forms. In the morning, the branches are thick with blooms; by evening, few remain. They say Heaven truly does cherish the flowers, yet rain washes them and wind scatters them.

No Regrets: Great Books to Recommend

The fairy of Mount Gou, with lofty clouds fading into the distance, does not envy the foolish Cowherd and Weaving Maid. Amid the bright moon, the sound of the phoenix flute fades away. I raise my hand in farewell to the people of this age and prepare to depart.

Hengzi Shuzi's Book List House

Leaning against the balustrade at Pingshan, I gaze into the clear sky; the mountain colors drift between presence and absence. I planted the willow before the hall with my own hands. Since we parted, how many spring winds have passed? The governor of literature waves his brush, composing ten thousand characters, and drinks a thousand goblets at a sitting. One should enjoy life while still young; before the wine, behold this old man in decline.

Li's Invincible Little Book List

After a hundred battles, the general's body and reputation lie broken. I turn back at the river bridge and gaze ten thousand miles away; my old friend is gone forever. The Yi River sighs beneath the cold western wind, and everyone seated is dressed in white as snow. The brave man's lament has not yet ended. Even the crying birds must know such sorrow; surely they do not shed clear tears, but cry blood instead. Who will get drunk with me beneath the bright moon?

Yufei's Golden House

I listen to the cuckoo among green trees. How could I bear it when the partridge falls silent and the plaintive cuckoo cries out? It calls until spring returns to nowhere, bitterly lamenting that all the fragrant blossoms have withered. Yet even this cannot compare with the partings of the human world. On horseback, the pipa sounds while the frontier is dark; deep into the night, a green carriage departs the Golden Palace gate. I watch the swallows see my returning concubine off.

Crescent Moon Like a Blade

The setting sun shines through the rolled-up embroidered blinds; beneath the pavilion, the water merges with the sky. I know you made this new poem for me, and the colors on the windows are still wet. I often remember the hall at Pingshan, where I rested my head against a pillow amid the misty rain of Jiangnan, watching a lone wild goose fade into the distance. I recognize the words of the Old Drunkard: the mountains seem to appear and disappear.
