Dr. Wangfu, Regional Exam Graduate, At His House With Two Juniper Trees: Two Poems: No. 2

 

王 复 秀 才 所 居 双 桧: 二 首
(2)
凛 然 相 对 敢 相 欺
直 干 凌 空 未 要 奇。
根 到 九 泉 无 曲 处
世 闻 惟 有 蜇 龙 知。
Wang Fu Xiu Cai Suo Ju Shuang Gui: Er Shou

(2)

Lin ran xiang dui gan xiang qi
Zhi gan ling kong wei yao qi.
Gen dao jiu quan wu qu chu
Shi wen wei you zhe long zhi.

 

Dr. Wangfu, Regional Exam Graduate, His House With Two Juniper Trees: Two Poems: No. 2

These trees face-to-face, within the current times cannot be lied to or deceived
Growing straight and tall to the sky, yet not feeling special.
Even the root system grew without bends or curves
Throughout society only the hibernating dragon knows of them.
