九月九日忆山东兄弟 – On the Double Ninth Festival Thinking of My Brothers in Shandong
九月九日忆山东兄弟 – On the Double Ninth Festival Thinking of My Brothers in Shandong
九 月 九 日 忆 山 东 兄 弟
(唐 · 王 维 )
独 在 异 乡 为 异 客 ,
每 逢 佳 节 倍 思 亲 。
遥 知 兄 弟 登 高 处 ,
遍 插 茱 萸 少 一 人 。
On the Double Ninth Festival Thinking of My Brothers in Shandong
(Tang Dynasty · Wang Wei)
All alone in a foreign land,
I am twice as homesick on this day.
When brothers carry dogwood up the mountain,
Each of them a branch — and my branch missing.
