酒醒香销愁不胜，如何更向落花行。去年高摘斗轻盈。
夜雨几番销瘦了，繁华如梦总无凭。人间何处问多情。
Making His Mark 刻舟求剑
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn't this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
楚国有个人坐船渡江时，他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中。他马上掏出一把小刀，在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号。船靠岸后，那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑。他怎么找得到宝剑呢？船继续行驶，而宝剑却不会再移动。像他这样去找剑，真是太愚蠢可笑了。
木之生，或蘖而殇，或拱而夭；幸而至于任为栋梁，则伐；不幸而为风之所拔，水之所漂，或破折或腐；幸而得不破折不腐，则为人之所材，而有斧斤之患。其最幸者，漂沉汩没于湍沙之间，不知其几百年，而其激射啮食之馀，或仿佛于山者，则为好事者取去，强之以为山，然后可以脱泥沙而远斧斤。而荒江之濆，如此者几何，不为好事者所见，而为樵夫野人所薪者，何可胜数？则其最幸者之中，又有不幸者焉。
予家有三峰。予每思之，则疑其有数存乎其间。且其孽而不殇，拱而不夭，任为栋梁而不伐；风拔水漂而不破折不腐，不破折不腐而不为人之所材，以及于斧斤之，出于湍沙之间，而不为樵夫野人之所薪，而后得至乎此，则其理似不偶然也。
然予之爱之，则非徒爱其似山，而又有所感焉；非徒爱之而又有所敬焉。予见中峰，魁岸踞肆，意气端重，若有以服其旁之二峰。二峰者，庄栗刻削，凛乎不可犯，虽其势服于中峰，而岌然决无阿附意。吁！其可敬也夫！其可以有所感也夫！
