Freehand Brushwork: Three Poems: No. 3

 

纵 笔: 三 首
北 般 不 到 米 如 珠
醉 饱 萧 条 半 月 无。
明 日 东 家 如 祭 灶
只 鸡 斗 酒 定 膰 吾。
Zong Bi: San Shou

Bei ban bu dao mi ru zhu
Zui bao xiao tiao ban yue wu.
Ming ri dong jia ru ji zao
Zhi ji dou jiu ding pan wu.

 

Freehand Brushwork: Three Poems: No. 3

Northern shipment of government rice has not arrived
For half a month very little food, only satisfaction was to get drunk.
Tomorrow the eastern homes will celebrate and offer sacrifices to the god of the hearth
Then there certainly will be whole chickens and bottles of wine.
