تسلق منصة وانغ شيان في اليوم التاسع وإهدائه إلى ليو مينغ فو / Ascending Wangxian Terrace on the Ninth Day and Presenting It to Liu Mingfu

Emperor Hanwen had his lofty tower;

This day I climb it as the dawn-light breaks.

The clouded hills of Sanjin all face north;

The winds and rains of Ereling come from the east.

Who now could know the gate-keeping yin of the pass?

The immortal old man by the river never returns.

I would instead seek out the Pengze magistrate nearby,

And with him, blissfully drunk, share the chrysanthemum cup.
