313

The plowing oxen bend over in the crossbar,
Opening up the earth and expanding the borders,
Sit down and think of the harvest to be brought in,
The broomcorn millet which grows in the paddy.

314

At the hip the ornamental sword,
Walking into the hall of the imperial palace,
Subvert and guard the Three Mountains,
Thousand maces and hundred chains.

315

A fledging able to fly high,
Moves into a new residence;
A flood dragon's spirit tooth and claw,
Transforms into an island in the sea.

316

Incredibly auspicious,
Usually the same as in the preceding month;
Terribly inauspicious,
Getting the plum blossom you want is in that case not the same,
Wearing a smile to the eastern wind,
Human feelings are not strong like in the old days.

317

Fire like a scorching calamity up to heaven,
Water is the right remedy;
The precious cauldron becomes red,
It is overwhelming.

318

One strip of cable,
Cannot alone bind the boat;
A sudden cut of a metal knife,
Makes the tie fall to the ground prematurely.

319

Within twelve hours,
You urgently refine the text,
A bit delay during a short time,
And you nowhere get a foothold.

320

A wind from the southwest is rising,
A red sunset on that same day,
Clever at the magic of making things invisible,
Able to guard with one hand.

321

All around silence reigns supreme,
The moon is high above in space;
Suddenly the clouds cover it,
The moonlight becomes dim.

322

One intimate friend,
But he waits at the end of the world;
Be sure not to procrastinate,
The silence of the night is a good time to think about it.

323

A pack of dogs assembles,
Sharpening and gnashing their teeth;
They assume an air of complacency,
Concerned only with guarding the house.

324

Wife in front and husband behind they walk together,
For this good occasion the omen is clear,
A gentleman in love must always remember,
Not to forget his heart after ten years of a kind relationship.

325

A rat hides in a hole,
It shows its head once,
The cat which was tailing it,
Stretches and threatens and bares its claws,
The rat loses it's life.

326

In books there are women with faces like jade,
In books there are surely golden houses,
Having read five carts of books,
Your wishes can be fulfilled,
Why is your heart worried and beat,
In your heart is agitation.

327

A leopard change as a result of writing beauty,
Riding a dragon he attains blessings himself;
Poverty turns into wealth and honor,
Everything can be renewed!

328

A yang alone is slight,
A group of yin is overflowing,
The strength is already exhausted,
No way to grow old in the future,
Be really cautious,
It is good to preserve.

329

The rain at dawn clears up and the small stream shines jade,
Layer upon layer of spring scenery at the gate of branches.
Gold is endless for the prosperous family.
Why should I envy brocade clothes?

330

The morals of the time are strewn with thistles and thorns,
People are moaning about all of it;
The benefit of a good name opens roads,
Pursue a career by working hard.

331

Lost on a bad mountain road which twists around,
The rushing waters bring a crossing boat in trouble,
Nothing at all is going strong.
The source of this is treacherous envy.

332

The time of now has many disasters,
With fear and trepidation.
On guard and apprehensive,
Filled with fear and dread.
Treading carefully as if walking on thin ice,
Waiting to recognize the journey ahead, dangerous and hazardous,
A chest of wind inside, a lantern wick.

333

A gorgeous flower branch with a delicious scent,
The delicate fragrance pervades the elegant room;
When a timely wind happens it will bring laughter,
Good poetry before the feast and think of how many wine cups.

334

Since you manitain yourself and guard your decisions,
Your achievements are ahead of everybody,
On your own there is extraordinary happiness,
Follow the dragon to the highest heaven.

335

A long, arduous journey across a rough sea in a boat like a leaf,
Now starts the achievement of passing the beach head;
After a year of anxiousness only then accomplishments,
In the past counting on one's fingers how many worries one can have.

336

Receiving a salary of the sovereign,
For a long time auspiciousness descends,
Profit without overbalance,
Guard this prosperousness;
Without laziness nor pride,
Remain forever relaxed and peaceful.
