Yang Wanli: Under the Foothills of Mt. Jinhua

 

Under the Foothills of Mt. Jinhua On a Sandbank near Lanxi City

 

下 横 山 滩 头 望 金 华 山
山 思 江 情 不 负 伊
雨 姿 晴 态 总 成 奇。
“闭 门 觅 句” 非 诗 法
只 是 征 行 自 有 诗。
Xia Heng Shan Tan Tou Wang Jin Hua Shan

Shan si jiang qing bu fu yi
Yu zi qing tai zong cheng qi.
“Bi men mi ju” fei shi fa
Zhi shi zheng xing zi you shi.

 

Under the Foothills of Mt. Jinhua On a Sandbank near Lanxi City

Do not rely on the pondering of mountains and rivers
Rain appearances and sunny arrivals gather unusual insights.
No spiritual poems come when the doors are closed
Naturally have beautiful lines arrive when one is on a long journey.
