Yang Wanli: First Entering the Yunzhou Border Area

First Entering the Yunzhou Border Area to Stop at Gao Gangpu

初 入 筠 州 界 高 冈 铺

千 尺 霜 松 夹 道 周
国 初 凉 伞 至 今 留。
筠 州 旧 是 朝 天 路
六 十 年 来 行 信 州!

Chu Ru Yun Zhou Jie Gao Gang Pu

Qian chi shuang song jia dao zhou
Guo chu liang san zhi jin liu.
Yun zhou jiu shi zhao tian lu
Liu shi nian lai xing xin zhou.

First Entering the Yunzhou Border Area to Stop at Gao Gangpu

Thousand feet of frosted pine trees on both sides of the highway
Planted at the nation’s beginning, today they provide shade and cover like an umbrella.
In former days, Yunzhou was passed through on the way to the palace
For sixty years everyone had to detour through Xinzhou.
