Chunfang Zhengzi Jianzige Li He
The ancestors had three feet of water in their boxes.
They once entered Wutan to kill the dragon.
The moon is shining brightly and the dew is cold,
I can’t afford to blow my belt when I lay it flat.
The body skin of the dragon is covered with old caltrops and thorns,
The tail of the grebe is tempered with white flowers.
It is Jing Ke who has the same heart.
Don’t teach me how to see the word Chunfang.
The golden silk is hanging,
The divine light wants to cut off the Lantian jade.
The White Emperor of the West is frightened,
The ghost mother Qiu Jiao cries.

It is famous for its novel conception, novel assumptions, strange metaphors and profound themes. Shen Deqian commented on this poem in "Tang Poems": "Those who chant swords have always only shown their benefits, but this time they also convey their spirit." This pertinent comment points out for us the purpose of understanding this poem. The poem was probably written during the period when he came to Beijing to serve as Fengli Lang.
