Calligraphy
书之关爱
With a brimming pen and effortless strokes,
I convey love and compassion through the art of Chinese Calligraphy.
笔酣墨饱，运笔自如，用书法写下关爱。
《送别》
唐·王维
下马饮君酒，问君何所之。
君言不得意，归卧南山陲。
但去莫复问，白云无尽时。
"Farewell" by Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
Dismounted, I drink with you,
and ask where you are going.
You say you have no clear destination,
so you return to rest by the southern mountain's edge.
But when you depart, do not ask again,
for white clouds have no end in sight.

《送杜少府之任蜀州》
唐·王勃
城阙辅三秦，风烟望五津。
与君离别意，同是宦游人。
海内存知己，天涯若比邻。
无为在歧路，儿女共沾巾。
"Bidding Farewell to Prefect Du on His Mission to Shu"
by Wang Bo (Tang Dynasty)
City gates guard the three Qins,
Amidst the wind and mist,
I gaze upon five rivers' flow.
Parting from you carries a heavy heart,
both of us wandering officials.
Though separated within the realm,
we're kindred spirits.
Though we're far apart, it is as if we are close neighbors at the ends of the world.
Never part at a crossroads with tears wetting the handkerchief,
like young lovers in sorrow.

《省试腊后望春宫》
唐·林宽
皇都初度腊，凤辇出深宫。
高凭楼台上，遥瞻灞浐中。
仗凝霜彩白，袍映日华红。
柳眼方开冻，莺声渐转风。
御沟穿断霭，骊岫照斜空。
时见宸游兴，因观稼穑功。
"Gazing at the Spring Palace After the Provincial Exam in the Twelfth Month" by Lin Kuan (Tang Dynasty)
Beginning of the twelfth month in the
Imperial Capital, the phoenix carriage of the Emperor emerges from the deep palace.
The emperor stands on a high tower,
gazing into the distance at the Ba River.
The officials' attire is adorned with white frost, and their robes reflect the red brilliance of the sun. Despite the cold weather, the willow buds are starting to bloom, and the songs of orioles gradually sound in the breeze.
The Imperial Canal cuts through the mist,
and the royal peaks shine in the slanting sky.
At this moment, the emperor and his attendants are witnessing the joyful scene of a bountiful harvest.

《别董大二首》
唐·高适
千里黄云白日曛，
北风吹雁雪纷纷。
莫愁前路无知己，
天下谁人不识君。
"Two Poems on Parting with Dong Dashi" by Gao Shi (Tang Dynasty)
A thousand miles of yellow clouds obscure the dawn's white light.
The northern wind blows, and geese soar amidst falling snowflakes.
Do not worry that you will lack companions on the road ahead,
for who in the world does not recognize you?

《送元二使安西》
唐·王维
渭城朝雨浥轻尘，
客舍青青柳色新。
劝君更尽一杯酒，
西出阳关无故人。
"Farewell to Envoy Yuan on His Mission to Anxi" by Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
Morning rain in the City of Wei
has refreshed the light dust.
Around the traveler's inn,
the green willows appear anew.
Bidding you farewell,
I would like to offer you one more toast.
As you go west through Yang Pass,
old friends are nowhere to be found.

《九月九日忆山东兄弟》
唐·王维
独在异乡为异客，
每逢佳节倍思亲。
遥知兄弟登高处，
遍插茱萸少一人。
"Ninth of September: Memories of My Brothers in Shandong" by Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger,
on every festive occasion,
I miss my loved ones even more.
From afar, I know my brothers have reached great heights. Everywhere, the spindle fruit is attached, but one is absent.

《赠汪伦》
唐·李白
李白乘舟将欲行，
忽闻岸上踏歌声。
桃花潭水深千尺，
不及汪伦送我情。
"To Wang Lun" by Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
Li Bai, aboard a boat, was about to depart.
Suddenly heard on the shore a foot-treading song starts.
The waters of peach blossom lake, a thousand feet deep,
can't compare to the feelings of Wang Lun, in sentiment so steep.

《闻王昌龄左迁龙标遥有此寄》
唐·李白
杨花落尽子规啼，
闻道龙标过五溪。
我寄愁心与明月，
随君直到夜郎西。
"Upon Hearing of Wang Changling's Relocation, Sending My Regards from Afar" by Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
Amidst falling poplar flowers, the oriole cries,
I heard that the dragon flag passed by five streams nearby.
I send my anxious heart with the bright moon's light,
I will follow you, my friend, all the way to the western land of Yelang at night.

赠人玫瑰，手留余香。
关爱他人，让你我的生活更美好。
Bestow roses upon others,
and your hands preserve their sweet scent.
Extending love and care to others,
we enrich our own lives with greater splendor.

《送友人》
唐·李白
青山横北郭，白水绕东城。
此地一为别，孤蓬万里征。
浮云游子意，落日故人情。
挥手自兹去，萧萧班马鸣。
"Farewell to a Friend" by Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
Green hills stretch beyond the northern suburbs,
white waters flow around the Eastern city.
This place, now left behind,
I wander alone for thousands of miles in my journey.
Roaming clouds express the wanderer's thoughts,
the setting sun carries the feelings of old friends.
With a wave of my hand, I depart from here,
the sound of neighing horses echoing faintly.

《游子吟》
唐·孟郊
慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。
"The Traveler's Lament" by Meng Jiao (Tang Dynasty)
A loving mother's hand holds the thread,
while her traveler child wears the clothes.
Before departure, she sews with care,
fearing a belated return.
Who can fathom the heart of a mere inch-tall blade of grass,
appreciating the warmth and radiance of three springs?

家是清凉的雨丝，拂去疲惫的征尘。
家是永远的牵挂，珍藏幸福的存根。
家是温馨的港湾，容纳漂泊的灵魂。
家是如伞的大树，遮挡酷夏的骄阳。
Home is the gentle touch of cooling rain, brushing away the weariness of the journey.
Home is the everlasting concern, safeguarding the roots of happiness.
Home is a warm harbor, embracing wandering souls.
Home is like a protective tree, shielding from the scorching summer sun.
