空山不見人 但聞人語響
返景入深林 復照青苔上
The Deer Place Wang Wei (701-761) 江紹倫譯
The hill vacant no one is seen
Chats are heard within
Deep in the woods this reflecting scene
On moss covered ground mirrors serene
空山不見人 但聞人語響
返景入深林 復照青苔上
The Deer Place Wang Wei (701-761) 江紹倫譯
The hill vacant no one is seen
Chats are heard within
Deep in the woods this reflecting scene
On moss covered ground mirrors serene
太乙近天都 連山接海隅
白雲回望合 青靄入看無
分野中峰變 陰晴眾壑殊
欲投人處宿 隔水問樵夫
Mt. Zhongnan Wang Wei (701-761) 江紹倫譯
The premier peak Taiyi sours high near Heaven Gate
The mountian reaches to link with the seaway
As I turn to see white clouds circle in flight
The peak disappears in mists lost from sight
Changes at mid-peak make celestial zones clear
Shady or vivid ravines and gorges appear
To seek a homely place to pass the night
Across the water I ask a woodcutter at riverside
Tr. YK Chan 陈耀国译

荊溪白石出
天寒紅葉稀
山路元無雨
空翠濕人衣
In the Mountain Wang Wei (701-761) 江紹倫譯
O’er white pebbles a clear stream glides
E’en in cold days no red leaves are found on hillsides
There is no trace of rain on the hilly paths
My clothes are moistened in the green bath
獨坐幽篁裡 彈琴复長嘯
深林人不知 明月來相照
A Cot on Bamboo Hill Wang Wei(701-761) 江紹倫譯
I sat alone in a bamboo grove
Playing the lute I croon having nothing to prove
Here in the deep wood no one knows me
The moon my friend cares to shine on me
君自故鄉來 應知故鄉事
來日綺窗前 寒梅著花未
A Recontre Wang Wei(698-756)江紹倫譯
Since you just came from my native land
I wonder if you hold large and small events in hand
Whence you passed by the window of my home
Was the winter plum already in bloom
獨在異鄉為異客 每逢佳節倍思親
遙知兄弟登高處 遍插茱萸少一人
To my Brothers on Double-Nine Festival 江紹倫譯
Alone a stranger I remain in foreign land
At every festival I pine for my dear ones in fervent
From here I can see my brothers ascending the mountains with fun
Everywhere they plant dogwood spray but find the team missing one
積雨空林煙火遲 蒸藜炊黍餉東菑
漠漠水田飛白鷺 陰陰夏木囀黃鸝
山中習靜觀朝槿 松下清齋折露葵
野老與人爭席罷 海鷗何事更相疑
At My Wanchuan Retreat During Rain 江紹倫譯
The rain-soaked forest has my firewood delayed
I cook millet and vegetable to entertain
Over the spacious water fields egrets glide
In the shaded summer woods yellow orioles cry
Quietly I watch the althea thrive in the morning sun
And dine with friendly pines savouring dewy mallows with fun
A rustic old man I’m now folks befriend me in delight
Why seagulls stay in air suspicious and not alight
中歲頗好道 晚家南山陲
興來每獨往 勝事空自知
行到水窮處 坐看雲起時
偶然值林叟 談笑無還期
Retirement at South Hill 江紹倫譯
I became at mid-life a true believer of Dao
I retire to settle at the foot of South Hill when old
Here I loiter at will with not much in mind
And review in solitude the good deeds I’ve left behind
I saunter to where the mountain stream no longer flows
I sit waiting to watch rising clouds afloat
By chance I meet a firewood gatherer as I roam
We chat and cheer forgetting ’tis time to return home
下馬飲君酒 問君何所之
君言不得意 歸臥南山陲
但去莫複問 白雲無盡時
Farewell Wang Wei 江紹倫譯
We dismounted our horses to have a cup of wine
I ask for your destination before we say good-bye
You say you have left your unhappy career aside
And on your way home where South Mount stands behind
I say not a word more as I see you on your way
Knowing well you’ll have no lack of white clouds for company where you stay
