Parable and Allegory
寓 言
暖 风 迟 日 柳 初 含
顾 影 看 身 又 自 惭。
何 事 明 朝 独 惆 怅
杏 花 时 节 在 江 南。
Yu Yan
Nuan feng chi ri liu chu han
Gu ying kan shen you zi can.
He shi ming zhao du chou chang
Xing hua shi jie zai jiang nan.
Parable and Allegory
Late spring warm breezes, willow trees begin to leaf out and flower
Look at body and self, naturally feel some shame.
Alone with sorrows and melancholy, what will tomorrow’s dawn bring
It is the season for Jiangnan’s emerging apricot blossoms.
Notes:
Jiangnan: Region around Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
