The Road to Shu is Difficult
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Hey, how dangerous it is!
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
With silkworms and yufu, how confused was the founding of the country!
You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai.
There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cross the top of Emei.
The earth collapsed and the mountains destroyed the strong men to death, and then the ladders and stone stacks were connected to each other.
On the top there is the high mark of six dragons returning to the sun, and on the bottom there is the rushing wave and turning back to Sichuan.
The yellow crane cannot fly past, and the ape clings to it to overcome its sorrow.
There is a lot of green mud, and there are nine twists and turns in the rocky mountains with a hundred steps.
Mon went to the Lijing Well and raised his head and breathed. He sat with his hands on his back and sighed.
When will you return from your journey to the west? Afraid of the unreachable rocks.
But I saw the mourning bird calling the ancient trees, and the male flying and the female flying around the forest.
I also heard Zigui crying about the moon at night, worrying about the empty mountains.
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky, which makes people wither their beauty!
The sky is not full even when the peaks are gone, and withered pines hang upside down against the cliffs.
The turbulent waterfalls are noisy, and the cliffs turn into rocks and thousands of valleys are thundered.
The danger is also like this. People who have traveled a long way have come here for nothing! (It's the same. I wrote: It's the same)
The sword pavilion is majestic and Cuiwei. One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men can't open it.
The relatives who were guarded or kidnapped turned into wolves and jackals.
Avoid tigers in the morning, snakes at night, grind their teeth to suck blood, and kill people like hemp.
Although Jincheng is happy, it is better to return home early.
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky. I turn to the west and look to the west and sigh!
Translation
Oh my! How tall and majestic it is!
The road to Shu is difficult to climb, it is simply difficult to reach the sky.
According to legend, Cancong and Yufu established the Kingdom of Shu. The founding era is too long to be discussed in detail.
About 48,000 years have passed since then. Qin and Shu were blocked by the Qinling Mountains and never communicated back and forth.
To the west, Taibai Mountain is so high and roadless that only birds can pass. This mountain can lead directly to the top of Mount Emei.
Landslides and ground cracks buried the five founding heroes, so that in the future the dangerous mountain roads and plank roads would be connected to each other.
In the middle of Sichuan, there are mountain tops that block the six-dragon chariot of the Sun God, and below there are huge rivers that empty out the tortuous waves.
The yellow crane, which is good at flying high, cannot fly over, and even if the hozen wants to climb over, it will have trouble climbing.
The dirt road in Qingni Ridge is winding and winding, winding around the mountains with nine twists and turns.
You can touch the Shenxing and Jingxing by holding your breath and raising your head. You are so nervous that you can’t breathe. You put your hands on your chest and sigh in fear.
My good friend, when will you return from your journey to the west? The steep rocky path of Shu Road is really difficult to climb!
I saw the sad bird whining and crying in the ancient tree; the male and female flew together among the dense trees.
On a moonlit night, I heard the sad cry of the cuckoo again, echoing in the empty mountains, making people endlessly sad!
The road to Shu is so difficult to climb that it is even harder to climb to the sky. How can people not change their expressions when they hear this?
The peaks are connected and less than a foot above the sky, and the old branches of withered pine trees hang upside down between the cliffs.
The swirling whirlpools and waterfalls are noisy. The flying currents hit the boulders and roll in the valley like thousands of valleys thundering.
In such a dangerous place, why do you, a guest from afar, have to come here?
The sword pavilion is so majestic that it reaches into the clouds, and it is difficult to capture it with thousands of troops and horses as long as one person guards it.
If the garrisoned officials are not trustworthy, they will inevitably turn into wolves and take advantage of danger to cause chaos.
Every day and night, we have to avoid tigers and snakes, which grind their teeth and suck blood, killing people like hemp.
Although Jinguan City is a happy place, it is so dangerous that it is better to return home early.
The road to Shu is so difficult to climb that it is even harder to reach the sky. Looking westward makes one sigh with emotion!
