Wrote Again About the Shangxin Pavilion
赏 心 亭 再 题
天 险 东 南 重
兵 雄 百 二 尊。
拂 云 千 雉 绕
截 水 万 岸 奔。
亦 日 吴 波 动
苍 烟 楚 树 昏。
向 无 形 胜 地
何 以 控 亁 坤。
Shang Xin Ting Zai Ti
Tian xian dong nan chong
Bing xiong bai er zun.
Fu yun qian zhi rao
Jie shui wan an ben.
Yi ri wu bo dong
Cang yin chu shu hun.
Xiang wu xing sheng di
He yi kong gan kun.
Wrote Again About the Shangxin Pavilion
In the southeast the skies threaten
This area can be easily defended with soldiers and their weapons.
Thousand feet of city walls almost touch the sky
Sections of mountains and quick-running rivers.
Daily can see the waves and water of Wu
At dusk can observe the blue-green trees among the mists of Chu.
With these natural and man-made barriers people feel safe
We can control all of the land in this region.
