Third Day of the Third Month Go to the Grave of Zhong Xiang, Followed His Transitory and Fractured Life to Obtain These Ten Poems: No. 2

 

三 日 三 月 上 忠 襄 坟 因 之 行 散 得 十 绝 句
草 藉 轮 蹄 翠 织 成
花 围 苍 陌 锦 帏 屏。
早 来 指 点 游 人 处
今 在 游 人 行 处 行。
San Yue San Ri Shang Zhong Xiang Fen Yi Zhi Xing San De Shi Jue Ju

Cao ji lun ti xui zhi cheng
Hua wei xiang mo jin wei bing.
Zao lai zhi dian you ren chu
Jin zai you ren xing chu xing.

 

Third Day of the Third Month Go to the Grave of Zhong Xiang, Followed His Transitory and Fractured Life to Obtain These Ten Poems: No. 2

Wheel tracks tread upon green grasses to create a damask weaving
Flower blossoms along alleys and footpaths between the fields like a brocade curtain.
Arrive early, I give directions to the travelers on where to go
Soon overwhelmed with too many curious tourists.

Notes:

Zhong Xiang: Also known as Yang Ban, was an uncle of Yang Wanli.
