Awakened from thin wine, For vain sweet dreams I pine. Why should the slanting moon be bright? I'm gloomy and depressed all through the night. How lovesick I'm for you who won't come here! The west wind blowing through the door brings me chill. Iron bells ring across the curtain still. O hear! Is it the pendants of my dear? （许渊冲 译）...

Zhang Liang would rather retire than be an official of high rank, But Han Xin played a childish prank. Instead of taking preventive measures, He arrogated all powers to himself. Unaware since ancient times emperors when in time of peace, To their doyens they begin to show their teeth. （周方珠 译）...

薛昂夫(1267—1359) ，元代散曲家。回鹘（今维吾尔族），原名薛超吾，以第一字为姓。先世内迁，孟路（今河南沁阳）人。祖、父皆封覃国公。汉姓为马，又字九皋，故亦称马昂夫、马九皋。据赵孟頫《薛昂夫诗集序》（《松雪斋文集》），他曾执弟子礼于刘辰翁(1234～1297)门下，约可推知他生年约在元初至元年间。历官江西省令史，佥典瑞院事、太平路总管、衢州路总管等职。薛昂夫善篆书，有诗名，诗集已佚。诗作存于《皇元风雅后集》、《元诗选》等集中。 Xue Angfu (1267-1359) was a prose composer of the Yuan Dynasty.

Both ancestors and fathers were granted the title of Duke of Qin. The Han surname is Ma, also known as Jiugao, hence it is also referred to as Ma Angfu or Ma Jiugao. According to Zhao Mengfu's "Preface to Xue Angfu's Poetry Collection" ("Collected Works of Song Xuezhai"), he once held the ceremony of being a disciple under Liu Chenweng (1234-1297), which can be inferred that he was born around the early Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty. He served as the magistrate of Jiangxi Province, and held various positions such as the official of Ruiyuan, the general manager of Taiping Road, and the general manager of Quzhou Road. Xue Angfu is skilled in seal script and has poetry titles, but his collection of poems has been lost. The poems are stored in collections such as "Huangyuan Fengya Hou Ji" and "Yuan Shi Xuan".

Young men and women are frolicking, That’s more charming than a beautiful painting, They can find no way home, And get lost in the depth of lotus loop.
