Climbing Mount Yang
|
Yuan Hongdao 1568-1610
Craggy rocks,
crouching like elephants;
withered pine bark,
mottled like fish scales.
From which spot did the Crane Immortal take off?
Is the Dragon Mother possessed of real magic power?
The caves here have talking animals;
on the cliffs live people who never say a word.
The palace of Wu fell apart long ago...
where can the ruins be found?

Yuán Hóngdào 1568-1610
Chánshí dūn rú xiànɡ,
Hèxiān hé chù shì.
Xué yǒu nénɡ yán shòu,
Wúɡōnɡ línɡluò jìn.
Kūsōnɡ bó sì lín,
Lónɡmǔ ɡuǒ rán shén.
Yán duō bù yǔ rén,
Zōnɡjì ɡuǒ shuí zhēn.
