Touching Fish - Yanqiu Rhetoric
Yuan Haoqian
I ask what is love in this world, and it teaches us to love each other in life and in death.
The two flyers in the south and north of the sky, the old wings a few times in the summer and winter.
The joy of pleasure, the pain of parting, in which there are even more foolish children. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me what you want to hear.
Miraculously, there are thousands of miles of clouds, thousands of mountains of snow, only shadow for whom to go.
Horizontal Fen Road, lonely year Xiao drums, the smoke is still flat Chu.
The soul of the Chu some why contend and, the mountain ghosts cry from the wind and rain.
The sky is also jealous, not believe with, warblers and swallows all yellow earth. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
To stay with the troublemakers, singing and drinking, visiting the Yanqiu place.
According to Yuan Hao Wen's record before this song, one year, he went to the examination, on the way, he met a goose catcher, said he caught a goose, and killed the goose, but the other lucky to escape from the net, but wandered in the air, singing sadly, and then suddenly threw himself to the ground and died. He was so touched that he bought the dead goose and buried it on Fen Shui, and built a stone to recognize it, which he called Goose Hill. The people who traveled with him wrote poems to commemorate the death, and Yuan Haowen also wrote this poem, "The Diction of Yanqiu".
Translation
Please ask everyone in the world! What is love? What is it that makes this 'Great Flying Goose' live and die?
The geese have flown far and wide, and no matter how many winters, winters, summers, and summers, they still love each other.
While happy to be inseparable, it is really a pain in the neck. The moment in front of me, I realized that the two geese are even more infatuated than the men and women who are infatuated on earth!
Together, inseparable lovers have passed away, the true love of the geese heart should know that this go, they are alone, the road ahead of the 10,000 miles of uncertainty, every year, summer and winter fly 10,000 miles over a thousand mountains morning wind and snow, the loss of a lifetime of love, single, even if Xun and live and what is the meaning of it?
In this Fen Shui area, back in the day, it was the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Di's tour, the emperor traveled to the place of joy, whenever Emperor Wu Di went on tour, the ceremonial music is the row of Xiao and Jian drums, the musicians sat in the drum car to play, the music resounded through the clouds. But now it is a desolate place, with flat forests and smoke.
Han Wu Di is dead, and the invocation is no longer helpful. The female mountain goddess has been unable to cries out again because of her mourning for her husband, and the dead will not come back again!
Double flying geese love of life and death even heaven is jealous of the martyrdom of the geese will not be the same as the general warblers and swallows, after death into a bad dust. The geese will not be like the ordinary birds and swallows, but will "live on in the world and be known for a long time".
After thousands of years, there will be people like me and my friends who are "in love" and will come to visit this tiny goose grave and sing and drink to honor the death of this pair of lovers.
