Li Bai: Climb the Jin City Sanhua Wall Tower

Climb the Jin City Sanhua Wall Tower

 

登 锦 城 散 花 楼
日 照 锦 城 头
朝 光 散 花 楼。
金 窗 夹 绣 户
珠 箔 悬 琼 钩。
飞 梯 绿 云 中
极 目 散 我 忧。
暮 雨 向 三 峡
春 江 绕 双 流。
今 来 一 登 望
知 上 九 天 游。
Deng Jin Cheng San Hua Lou

Ri ran jin cheng tou
Zhao guang san hua lou.
Jin chuang jia xiu hu
Zhu bo xuan qiong gou.

Fei ti lu yun zhong
Ji mu san wo you.
Mu yu xiang san xia
Chun jiang rao shuang liu.
Jin lai yi deng wang
Ru shang jiu tian you.

Climb the Jin City Sanhua Wall Tower

Sun illuminates the top of the Jin City wall
First light on the Sanhua Tower.
Gold-lit windows, double-layered embroidered door
Hanging pearl screen from jade hooks.

Up terraced steps into the green clouds
As far as the eyes can see, my concerns dissipate.
Sunset rain, canyons in three different directions
Spring waters flow into two rivers.
Came today to climb up and gaze into the distance
Like traveling above the highest heavens.

 

Notes:

Jin City: modern city of Chengdu, Sichuan Province
