Lu Yu: From Wu Junzhou, Already Reports That the Western Capital Was Recaptured

From Wu Junzhou, Already Reports That the Western Capital Was Recaptured

闻 武 均 州 报 已 复 西 京
白 发 将 军 亦 壮 哉
西 京 昨 夜 接 书 来!
胡 儿 敢 作 千 年 计?
天 意 宁 知 一 日 回?
列 圣 仁 恩 深 雨 露
中 兴 赦 令 疾 风 雷。
悬 知 寒 食 朝 陵 使
驿 路 梨 花 处 处 开。
Wen Wu Jun Zhou Bao Yi Fu Xi Jing

Bai fa jiang jun yi zhuang zai
Xi jing zuo ye jie shu lai!
Hu er gan zuo qian nian ji?
Tian yi ning zhi yi ri hui?

Lie sheng ren en shen yu lu
Zhong xing she ling ji feng lei.
Xuan zhi han shi zhao ling shi
Yi lu li hua chu chu kai.

 

From Wu Junzhou, Already Reports That the Western Capital Was Recaptured

Alas! White-haired army general also very strong!
Written letter of our victory arrived from the western capital!
These nomads like children, dare to think they could occupy us for a thousand years?
Were they not aware that the will of Heaven is for peace, and our eternal return?

A list of our succeeding sacred leaders, their benevolence and grace as deep as the rain and frosts
Whole country united will promote and cause the gale winds and thunder to moderate.
Realize and imagine during the next Cold Food Days, we can be proud in front of our ancestors
Highway post stations full, pear blossoms will just be starting to open.

 

Notes:

Cold Food Days:  Three days in spring leading up to the observance of Qing Ming (Tomb-Sweeping Day).
