Early Rising at Huanzhu Temple
|
Yuan Hongdao 1568-1610
Hey there, Yuan Hongdao!
Why not get up at the crack of dawn?
A hunderd thousand universes
have been blown by the wind
into an ocean of cloud.
I throw on my clothes,
go out and take a look:
sure enough,
the clouds a stretched out below.
The whole sky is filled with crystal forms...
such is the power
of the mountain god!

Yuán Hóngdào 1568-1610
duō zāi yuán zhōnɡ lánɡ,
hú bù qīn chén qǐ.
bǎi qiān dà shì jiè,
chuī zuò yínɡ hǎi shuǐ.
pī yī qǐ shì zhī,
ɡuǒ rán yún zài dǐ.
mí tiān bù liú lí,
shān shén shènɡ nǎi ěr.
