Visiting Crecsent Pond

Cheng Hao 1032-1085 We circle the shore of Crescent Pond To the north is a tower that touches the sky The world has changed in the autumn air We pour a cup for the evening chill The image of a cloud pauses on the water The sound of a stream lingers beneath the trees Our tasks are endless there's no need to count Let's meet again our next day off

Yóu Yuèpí

Chéng Hào 1032-1085 Yuèpí Dī shàng sì páihuái， Běi yǒu zhōng tiān bǎi chǐ tái. Wànwù yǐ suí qiūqì gǎi， Yī zūn liáo wèi wǎn liáng kāi. Shuǐ xīn yún yǐng xián xiāng zhào， Lín xià quán shēng jìng zì lái. Shìshì wúduān hézú jì， Dàn féng jiājié yuē chóng péi.
