Yongshanquan
Guangxi in early Tang dynasty
There is running water in the mountains.
The sky plays underground, and the rain is heard in the air.
Turn into a deep stream and divide into small pools.
No one has seen it. You'll know when you get old.
translate
There is a spring in the mountain. Ask someone the name of this spring, and no one knows.
The sky is reflected on the surface of the spring water, the color of the ground and the sky is the same, and the spring water flows down from the high cliff like rain.
The spring water flowed down from the mountain and filled the mountain stream, even the tributaries filled the small pond.
No one saw the silence and indifference of this spring, but in any case, this spring is still so clear year after year.
Brief introduction of the author
Chu Guangxi was a poet in Tang Dynasty, who was good at writing pastoral poems. In the 14th year of Kaiyuan, he was promoted to Jinshi, but his career was not smooth, and he finally lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan. Because you can come into contact with some rural realities when you live in seclusion, the poems you write have a strong flavor of life and give people a real feeling. Representative works include Tian Jia Yi Shi, Tian Jia Miscellaneous Works and Mu Tong Ci.
