Huanxisha
Visit Qishui Qingquan Temple. The temple is adjacent to Lanxi River, which flows west. At the foot of the mountain, orchid buds dip into the stream, and the sandy road among the pines is clear of mud. Xiaoxiao Yuzigui cries at dusk. Who said there is no less in life? The water flowing in front of the door can still flow to the west! Stop singing yellow chicken with white hair.
Notes
1. Qishui, the name of the county, is now Xishui County, Hubei Province. At that time, I traveled with the doctor Pang Anshi (also known as Anchang), and I saw "Shu Qingquan Temple Ci" in the third volume of "Dongpo's Inscriptions and Postscripts". 2. Soak: Soak in water. 3. Zigui: cuckoo. 4. Singing Yellow Chicken: Feeling the passage of time. Because the yellow rooster can announce the dawn. Represents the passage of time. 5. Bai Juyi's "Luo Bin, March 3rd": "The sand road is moist and there is no mud." 6. "Xiaoxiao Muyu", Bai Juyi's "Poems to the Yin Xielu" annotated: "The lyrics of Wu Erniang's song in the south of the Yangtze River say, 'Xiaoxiao Muyu Lang does not return'." Zigui, a cuckoo bird, is said to have been transformed by the soul of Du Yu, the ancient Shu emperor. Also known as "Du Yu", it has a shrill sound and is often used in poems to express the thoughts of traveling. 7. This sentence should be realistic. But "in front of the door" and so on, there are also origins. "Old Book of Tang" Volume 19 "The Biography of Yi Xing" by Fang Ji said that there was an old monk in Guoji Temple in Tiantai Mountain who knew how to make fortunes. He said: "The water in front of the door is flowing to the west, and the disciples are also coming." The group went in to ask for help. , "But the fruits in front of the door flow westward." 8. Bai Juyi's "Drunken Song": "Who knows how to make you understand the song? Listen to the singing of the yellow rooster and the white sun. The yellow rooster crows to remind you of the dawn, and the day has disappeared before the unitary day of the year. The red ribbon around the waist is not stable, and in the mirror The beauty has been lost." Here the meaning is used instead, that is, don’t hurt yourself with gray hair and lament aging. 9. No less: Can’t go back to being a teenager. 10. White hair: old age 11. Xiaoxiao: describing the sound of rain
Translation
A small part of the orchid grass shoots at the foot of the mountain is soaked in the water, and the path between the pine forests is clear and mudless.
In the evening drizzle, cuckoos chirped from time to time.
Who says you can’t go back to your youth when you grow old?
The running water in front of the door can still run to the west persistently!
Don’t complain about old age because of troubles, and overly lament the passage of time
