Chinese Poetry | Guess The Author

[Spock]

沧海一声笑　滔滔两岸潮 浮沉随浪只记今朝　　　

苍天笑　纷纷世上潮　谁负谁胜出天知晓　　

江山笑　烟雨遥　　　涛浪涛尽红尘俗世知多少

清风笑　竟惹寂寥　　豪情还剩了一襟晚照　

苍生笑　不再寂寥　豪情仍在痴痴笑笑

This should be read/sang in Cantonese for it to rhyme properly. In Mandarin, it really sucks.

here's mine pretty simple

窗前名月光 以是地上窗
举头望明月 低头使古相

forgot a whole bunch of words so had to replace them phonetically. Synonyms i guess that's what they are called or anthonym?

床前明月光，疑是地上霜
举头望明月，低头思故乡

by 李白

And I thought you are a defender of all things Chinese.

月夜忆舍弟

戍鼓断人行
边秋一雁声
露从今夜白
月是故乡明
有弟皆分散
无家问死生
寄书长不达
况乃未休兵

yuè yè yì shè dì

shù gǔ duàn rén xíng
qiū biān yí yàn shēng
lù cóng jīn yè bái
yuè shì gù xiāng míng
yǒu dì jiē fēn sàn
wú jiā wèn sǐ shēng
jì shū cháng bú bì
kuàng nǎi wèi xiū bīng

Not all things and being chinese goes beyond just knowing a few chinese words.

but can u at the very least write your name in chinese script?

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

but can u at the very least write your name in chinese script?

Oh yes i can without a doubt. I have never forgotten how to write my own name.

Good point for Jah who keeps hounding me about my half-Chineseness. First, it's not half, it's quarter at most. Then, I don't even have a Chinese name.

What type of mix are you exactly?

Are you at least half asian?

 

[sleaguepunter]

if u think chinese script is difficult then read up about chinese culture in english lor. i admit chinese poetry die die must read in chinese so if u have children, then learn together with your kids. There are some "easy" chinese poetry in popular book store meant for children, come together with cartoon pictures inside. Can learn together and at the same time have quality time together with children, one stone many birds.

I think I've mentioned before but you might have missed it. My great*x grandfather was a British diplomat in China during Qing Dynasty and married my great*x grandmother who was a Manchurian with a Manchurian maiden surname, not Han Chinese. Later when the British Straits Settlements and British Malaya were established, he got posted to this region and brought his whole family along. That was how our Eurasian lineage started.

So i suppose this great grandad of yours is on your father's side. Here's the thing though. You didn't mention your grand parents on both sides and your parents heritage it's no wonder i couldn't connect the dots. Btw everyone has 2 parents, 4 grand parents and 8 great grand parents.

Following your logic, which is mathematically logical I must say, everyone who's marries has 4 parents (2 in-laws), 8 grandparents (4 in-laws) and 16 great grandparents (8 in-laws). Anyone in the dot connecting the line may not be of the same race. So please, stop your Chinese superiority or insecurity.

Anyone in the dot connecting the line not being of the same race would render the ethnicity mixed. That's why we see some so-called pure Chinese with wavy hair instead of the classic Chinese straight hair, some are taller or shorter than average, some are fairer or darker than average.

What a bore! Look you told me about your great grand parents. Quite difficult to connect the dots. Tell me about the heritage of your parents and grandparents. It's true that every human has 2 parents, 4 grandparents and 8 great grandparents and it makes no diff whether they are married or not. Unless somehow these humans are a different species and managed to procreate without the opposite gender.

I've already told you. My great*x grandfather was a British diplomat in China married to my great*x grandmother who was Manchurian. That's how our Eurasian lineage started. The most I can tell you further is that my great*x grandmother was from the imperial household (ranked lady but not princess) betrothed to my great*x grandfather by one of the Qing emperors I can't remember who. If you probe deeper than that, I'd think that you're impertinently intrusive over nothing of your concern.

Aiyoh your great grand father sure is one of those damn sickening A holes trying to take advantage of china. Fortunately those days are over. Why won't you tell me what your parents and grand parents are? I suppose they are all asian but not chinese.

There wasn't any side taking advantage of the other side, but to face reality, it was a politically arranged marriage, that I can't deny. A certain degree of snobbery down my family line too, that I also can't deny, my ancestors only married aristocracy or at least gentry. It wasn't about the race. It was about the status. That was in the feudal and imperial past. I do hope that changes. If I have children, I won't mind them marrying anybody as long as they're in love and happy together.

Ok i don't ask you anymore since you don't want to tell. Great grandparents are too far back but i can bet you must be mixed up with a significant percentage of shit skin since you're so bias towards them.

Have a nice day.

荣华犹如三更梦, 富贵还同九月霜
天下丛林饭似山，钵盂到处任君餐。
黄金白玉非为贵，惟有袈裟披最难！
朕为大地山河主，忧国忧民事转烦，
百年三万六千日，不及僧家半日闲。
来时糊涂去时迷，空在人间走一回。
未曾生我谁是我？生我之时我是谁？
长大成人方是我，合眼蒙眬又是谁？
不如不来亦不去，也无欢喜也无悲。
悲欢离合多劳意，何日清闲谁得知？
世间难比出家人，无牵无挂得安闲。
口中吃得清和味，身上常穿百衲衣。
五湖四海为上客，逍遥佛殿任君嘻。
莫道僧家容易做，皆因屡世种菩提。
虽然不是真罗汉，也搭如来三顶衣。
兔走鸟飞东复西，为人切莫用心机，
百年世事三更梦，万里江山一局棋！
禹尊九洲汤伐夏，秦吞六国汉登基，
古来多少英雄汉，南北山头卧土泥！
黄袍换却紫袈裟，只为当初一念差。
我本西方一衲子，缘何落在帝皇家！
十八年来不自由，南征北战几时休？
朕今撒手归西去，管你万代与千秋。
打破虚空笑满腮，玲珑宝藏豁然开！
直饶空劫生前事，六字洪名毕竟该。
