读 韩 杜 集
杜 诗 韩 集 愁 来 读
似 倩 麻 姑 痒 处 搔。
天 外 凤 凰 谁 得 髓
无 人 解 合 续 弦 胶。
Du Han Du Ji
Du shi han ji chou lai du
Si qian ma gu yang chu sao.
Tian wai feng huang shei dei sui
Wu ren jie he xu xian jiao.
Read Aloud Han Yu and Du Fu Collections
Du Fu poems, Han Yu collection, when read aloud sadness arrives
Like inviting Ma Gu to scratch an itch out of reach.
Who can obtain the essence of these male and female phoenixes outside the gates of heaven
No one can create the glue necessary to repair the broken arrows of the past.
Notes:
Du Fu and Hanyu are both famous Tang Dynasty poets. Their biographies and work can be found on this website and other internet sites.
Ma Gu: A female deity connected to an allegorical story from the Eastern Han Dynasty. Another immortal with an itch wanted her skinny hands to scratch his back.
