至 后 入 城 道 中 条 兴
大 熟 仍 教 得 大 晴
今 年 又 是 一 升 平。
升 平 不 在 箫 韶 里
只 在 诸 村 打 稻 声。
Zhi Hou Ru Cheng Dao Zhong Za Xing
Da shu reng jiao de da qing
Jin nian you shi yi sheng ping.
Sheng ping bu zai xiao shao li
Zhi zai zhu cun da dao sheng.
Early Days of Winter Witnessed the Arrays of a Bumper Harvest Along the Highway, Then Entered the City Walls
Abundant harvests need to be followed by sunny days
This year has also been one of peace.
Inside the palace, their peace of a different nature
In many villages the sounds of reapers pounding grains against their paddy berms.
