Fan Chengda: Market Streets

Market Streets

市 街

梳 行 讹 杂 马 行 残
药 市 萧 骚 土 市 寒。
惆 怅 软 红 佳 丽 地
黄 沙 如 雨 扑 征 鞍。

Shi Jie

Shu xing e za ma xing can
Yao shi xiao sao tu shi han.
Chou chang ruan hon jia li di
Huang sha ru yu pu zheng an.

Market Streets

Shuxing street is a shadow of its former self, no more well-built structures
Medicine market desolate, business activity cold.
The royal and beautiful places now full of sorrows
Refugees arrive across the yellow sand desert in long and saddled journeys.
