Yan Zhi Village: Three Poems
胭 脂 井： 三 首
昭 光 殿 下 起 楼 台
拼 得 山 河 付 酒 杯。
春 色 已 从 金 井 去
月 华 空 上 石 头 来。
Yan Zhi Jing: San Shou
Zhao guang dian xia qi lou tai
Pin de shan he fu jiu bei.
Chun se cong jin jing qu
Yue hua kong shang shi tou lai.
Yan Zhi Village: Three Poems
Pre-Sui Dynasty palace rises above the buildings and terraces
This emperor spent too much time filling mountains and rivers into his wine cups.
Today the springtime colors and palaces have disappeared from view.
In the emptiness, radiant moonlight arrives upon the remaining rocks and stones.
