On the Sanqu Road

Zeng Ji 1084-1166 Plums are yellow and days are sunny Where the river turns shallow I take the trail The canopy of green doesn't get less shady The occasional sound of orioles though is new

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.
