晚年惟好靜 萬事不關心
自顧無長策 空知返舊林
松風吹解帶 山月照彈琴
君問窮通理 漁歌入浦深
A Response to Prefect Zhang Wang Wei (701-761) 江紹倫譯
In my old age I treasure quietude
World affairs I care nil
On self-reflection I had not a life plan in view
Enjoy to review past events fable and real
Breezes from among the pines set my sash free
I play my zither with moon and hills in peace
You ask for wisdom to attain success failure-free
Hear how fishermen up-stream sing at ease
