Wang Shen Poem: Spring in a Pleasure Garden Yellow Mountains Recalled – 汪莘《沁园春忆黄山》
沁园春 忆黄山 汪莘 三十六峰, 三十六溪, 长锁清秋。 对孤峰绝顶, 云烟竞秀; 悬崖峭壁, 瀑布争流。 洞里桃花[1], 仙家芝草[2], 雪后春正取次游。 亲曾见, 是龙潭白昼, 海涌潮头。 当年黄帝浮丘, 有玉枕玉床还在不。 向天都月夜, 遥闻凤管[3]; 翠微霜晓, 仰盼龙楼。 砂穴长红, 丹炉已冷, 安得灵方闻早修。 谁知此, 问源头白鹿, 水畔青牛。 注释: [1]洞里桃花:相传古代仙人浮丘公曾在炼丹峰的炼丹洞里炼过仙丹,那里有两棵桃树,毛白而色异,为仙家之物。 [2]仙家芝草:吃了可以成仙的灵芝草。相传轩辕峰下的采芝源,曾是轩辕黄帝采芝的地方。 [3]凤管:凤箫。相传春秋时有萧史善于吹箫,秦穆公以女弄玉妻之。萧史教弄玉吹箫作凤鸣,引凤来归,穆公为他们筑了凤台。后萧史、弄玉一起乘凤而去。凤箫之名由此得来。 Spring in a Pleasure Garden Yellow Mountains Recalled Wang Shen Thirty-six peaks And thirty-six streams Have long locked clear autumn in dreams.

I have seen with my eyes The Dragon’s Pool in broad daylight, The sea in angry billows rise. Of the Yellow Emperor’s reign, Do the jade bed and pillow still remain? From the Celestial Town in moonlight, I’ve heard ...
