Ten Separate Poems: Levee Partitioned Fields: No. 8
圩 丁 词 十 解
圩 上 人 牵 水 上 航
从 头 点 检 万 农 桑。
即 非 使 者 秋 行 部
乃 是 圩 翁 晓 安 庄。
Wei Ding Ci Shi Jie
Wei shang ren qian shui shang hang
Cong tou dian jian wan nong sang.
Ji fei shi zhe qiu xing bu
Nai shi wei weng xiao an zhuang.
Ten Separate Poems: Levee Partitioned Fields: No. 8
Low river flows, entangled boats await to navigate a portage
Dotted fields with thousands of farmers and mulberry trees.
Autumn traveled this section while working as an envoy
At daybreak this old man hangs back inside this protected village.
