Dragon-Turtle Mountain

        Qiu Chuji 1148-1227

Dragon-Turtle Mountain
        on three sides the sea
                floats in the void,
Sunrise from Fusang
        turns the sea crimson.
Vast seascape
        for ten thousand miles
                blue-green waves,
Perfected creation
        glints golden
                on Shandong.

Áo Shān

Áo shān sān miàn hǎi fú kōng,
Rìchū fúsāng zhào hǎi hóng.
Hàomiǎo bìbō qiān wànlǐ,
Jìn chéng jīnsè wàn shān dōng.
