Listening to the Monkeys and Thinking of the Old Cottage on the Er Shi Peaks
        Cen Chen 715-770

New seems Omei's smoky green,

Washed by yesternight's wind rain.

On the creast of the peak the trees stand out, distinct;

Inverted, they seem planted in the autumn river below.
It is a long time ago since I left the Er Shi Mountains,

Because I coveted the official's "Five Bushels of Rice."

I cannot bear to hear the mourning monkeys;
This northern guest only wishes to let his let his tears flow.

Éméi Tīng Yuán Huái Èrshí Jiù Lú
Éméi yān cuì xīn,

Zuó yè fēng yǔ xǐ.

Fēn míng fēng tóu shù,

Dào chā qiū jiāng dǐ.

Jiǔ bié Èr shí jiān,

Tú tā wǔ dǒu mǐ.

Āi yuán bù kě tīng,

Běi kè yù liú tì.
