Gazing at the Valley of Qin

Li Qi 690-751 Gazing at the Valley of Qin at dawn The rising sun behind the east peak Mountains and rivers near and far so clear Undulating wall upon palace wall The sound of autumn from a world fo bamboo The look of winter among Wuling pines Let's go home a traveler sighs The frost and dew are so thick

Wàng Qínchuān

Lǐ Qí 690-751 Qínchuān cháo wàng jiǒng， Rì chū zhèng dōng fēng. Yuǎn jìn shān hé jìng， Wēiyǐ chéng què chóng. Qiū shēng wàn hù zhú， Hán sè wǔ líng sōng. Yǒu kè guī yú tàn， Qī qí shuāng lù nóng.

Notes: From the book Poems of the Masters, China's Classic Anthology of Tang and Song Dynasty verse. One of the best, if not "the best", books of general translations of Chinese poetry. Wonderfully detailed notes on each poem and all poems are displayed in the original Chinese. Translated by Red Pine, published by Copper Canyon Press.
