193

At a great distance the sail turns,
The flat waves are not alarming;
Moving on is not obstructed,
The journey is proceeds the crossing.

194

You personally experienced terrible waves,
The Eastwind is convenient and good,
Peace and tranquility when you go back,
It is now still early.

195

A crane emerges from the clouds,
A person returns from under the moon,
A new love fills your face,
No need to wrinkle your brows.

196

You may fish in the deep natural pond,
You may net birds in the deep secluded valley;
You just need a long time growing up,
There is no need to become anxious.

197

Going forward without ease,
Going back without approval;
When high and low follow each other,
That is a bright pearl.

198

Pretty soon divining about a decisive occasion,
The middle road is not lost;
At present things are not to one's liking,
Abruptly dismissing good or bad.

199

Noisy sparrows high above,
A traveller at an age-old ferrystation;
Halfway and unsettled,
At nightfall worry creeps in.

200

Cutting in the stone gets you the jade,
Removing the sand gets you the pearl;
Before your eyes right now,
Why hesitate?

201

Unceasing wind and rain urge spring to go,
The flowers of the peaches and plums fall faded from the tips of the branches;
At the border of the peach field some people are singing and laughing,
Knowledge weighs on the ruler's mind chaotic like hempfibers.

202

Once upon a time in spring in the land where immortals dwell,
New flowers and willows in the frontyard;
A sound passing on a good message,
The vegetation is utterly enjoyable.

203

Outside the door affairs pile one on top of the other,
Many shady people meet each other;
Even though a virtuous women helps cleverly,
What is indistinct ends up difficult to cure.

204 In the kettle

When affairs are promising.
The face is shining,
When from beginning to end all is settled by discussion,
Then sun and moon are for a long time in the kettle.

205

Darkness leaving makes brightness come,
A worried heart and affairs all harmonious;
The unavoidable result being your laughing,
No misgivings now.

206

A precious mirror without dust or dirt,
The attendants already cut the garments;
Also meeting conform to Heaven's will,
To the end not causing dust.

207

Harmonious events,
Full of banter;
Happy sounds halfway the journey,
Level steps, spring, and a high position.

208

The flowers are damaged the moon is gone,
The mirror is smashed and the hairpins broken;
Stop social intercourse,
Things begin in quiet nights.

209

Outside the door good news is coming,
Your career deserves celebrations;
Fame and wealth move and change,
The flight of wild geese can end in a broken formation.

210

A great stretch of beautiful landscapes,
The sandstorm ends for the entire day;
The fish swallowed the bait on the hook,
Why would your heart bother with the twists and turns of a text?

211

A pair of swallows dances with documents in their beaks,
Soon they come together;
Lonely and for a long time staying as a guest,
Now you come down from your fishing spot.

212

The full moon moves along the mountain massif,
Tall and dark, gradually climbing;
Raise your head to look at the sky above,
The moon rising on the human world.

213

Avail of moving,
forget about hiding;
A ride out over the passes,
Good tidings are soon to come.

214

Accumulating merit and carrying out achievements gets you children and grandchildren,
Killing an ox and offering a sacrifice to the spirits and the Western neighbor,
The day you achieve the writing of honor and rank both,
You can turn around and the landscape and all living things are new.

215

The quiet and calm road is level,
In the clouds flies a wild goose;
Peach blossoms meet a sudden rainstorm,
On the shore women are wailing.

216

Indoors weapons are raised,
Family members want revenge and cannot get along with each other;
Saints and sages in red robes approach,'
Only then smiles and laughter awaken again.
