北 溟 有 巨 鱼
身 长 数 千 里。
仰 喷 三 山 雪
横 吞 百 川 水。
凭 凌 随 海 运
烜 赫 因 风 起。
吾 观 摩 天 飞
九 万 方 未 已。
Bei Ming You Ju Yu
Bei ming you ju yu
Shen chang shu qian li.
Yang pen san shan xue
Heng tun bai chuan shui.
Ping ling sui hai yun
Xuan he yin feng qi.
Wu guan ma tian fei
Jiu wan fang wei yi.
Beiming, Northern Frontier Has a Huge Fish
Beiming has a very large fish
It’s body hundreds of miles long.
Breaking water rises like several snowy mountains
Can swallow up one hundred rivers from east to west.
Rises high along with the ocean’s motion
So large and magnificent he causes the winds to arise.
Can morph into a flyer up in the sky
Cannot stop until ninety thousand directions completed.
