Some Tang Dynasty Poems

The Bamboo Hut
竹 里 馆
by Wang Wei
王 维

Sitting among bamboos alone,
独 坐 幽 篁 里
I play lute and croon carefree.
弹 琴 复 长 啸
In the deep woods where I'm unknown,
深 林 人 不 知
Only the bright moon peeps at me.
明 月 来 相 照

月 = moon
明 = light
人 = person
林 = woods
不 = not
相 = peep


Other new words and characters:

公共吃车Public Bus (gong gong chi che)
这附近有位生间吗Is there a restroom nearby (zhe fu jin you wei chengjian ma)
