Traveled to a Military Prison, Overnight Made an Inspection in the Xinlong Temple, Saw Zouzhi’s Poems Still Legible Written on a Wall
行 部 决 狱 宿 新 隆 寺 观 邹 至 完 题 壁
道 乡 千 古 一 清 风
雪 壁 银 钩 墨 尚 浓。
若 爱 殿 前 苍 玉 佩
断 无 身 后 碧 纱 笼。
Xing Bu Jue Yu Su Xin Long Si Guan Zou Zhi Wan Ti Bi
Dao xiang qian gu yi qing feng
Xue bi yin gou mo shang nong.
Ruo ai dian qian cang yu pei
Duan wu shen hou bi sha long.
Traveled to a Military Prison, Overnight Made an Inspection in the Xinlong Temple, Saw Zouzhi’s Poems Still Legible Written on a Wall
He wrote many poems of the clear winds from the Dao and his hometown
On the snow white walls, he used silver brush strokes to make characters dark and thick.
He did not cherish the palace with its green jade waist pendants
Bi Shalong and his poetry became respected after he passed his exams and became a government official.
