Again Talk of My Kuazhou House With It’s Colorful Dawn and Sunset Scenery
重 夸 州 宅 旦 暮 景
仙 都 难 画 亦 难 书
暂 合 登 临 不 合 居。
绕 郭 烟 岚 新 雨 后
满 山 楼 阁 上 灯 初。
人 声 晓 动 千 门 辟
湖 色 宵 涵 万 象 虚。
为 问 西 州 罗 刹 岸
涛 头 冲 突 近 何 如？
Chong Kua Zhou Zhai Dan Mu Jing Se Jian Chou Qian Pian Wei Ju
Xian dou nan hua yi nan shu
Zan he deng lin bu he ju.
Rao guo yan lan xin you hou
Man shan lou ge shang deng chu.
Ren sheng xiao dong qian men bi
Hu se xiao han wan xiang xu.
Wei wen xi zhou luo cha an
Tao tou chong ru jin he ru?
Again Talk of My Kuazhou House With It’s Colorful Dawn and Sunset Scenery
All immortals here are difficult to paint or put into words
For now, become one with the mountains and my home’s appearances.
Mountain mists coil around the outer city walls with fresh rainfall to come
Lantern lights lit, shine upon the mountains, towers and pavilions.
At daybreak the sounds of early-risers moving about
Nighttime lake colors appreciated by many households.
To the west, my friend Bai Juyi clings to a riverbank Buddhist temple
What is it like there with large waves arriving so close to you?
