one chinese poetry about kite-一首与风筝有关的诗歌



《风鸢图诗》

[明] 徐谓

江北江南低鹞齐,线长线短回高低。
春风自古无凭据,一伍骑夫弄笛儿。


extended meaning of high & low in Chinese literature-高和低在中国文学中的引申含义

阳春白雪 ("雅")-"Spring Snow", means highbrow art and literature

下里巴人 ("俗")-"Low class", means popular literature or art

《下里巴人》和《阳春白雪》最早是说诗歌的,用来形容“雅”和“俗”。
《下里巴人》是民间讴唱的曲子,《阳春白雪》则为达官贵人知识分子们所欣赏。

"Low class" and "Spring Snow" that was first used to describe the "elegant" and "vulgar" poetry ."Low class" is  being sung in the folk , "Spring Snow" was appreciated by intellectuals and nobles.

well-known chinese philosophical poetry in Song Dynasty-中国宋朝著名哲理诗



《题西林壁》

[宋] 苏轼

    横看成岭侧成峰,远近高低各不同;
    不识庐山真面目,只缘身在此山中。

Written on the wall at West Forest Temple

By Su Shi

Lu Shan looks a long range from the side,
But from one of the ends it looks a peak.
From near or far, and from high or low,
Mountain Lu Shan looks not the same.
You can’t see the true face of Lu Shan,
Because you are lost whthin it yourself.
So things must be observed objectively
From points of view as many as possible.
