المرور عبر هوا يين / Passing Through Huayin
Towering Mount Hua looms over Xianyang's capital,
Beyond the sky the three peaks rise, hewn not by human hand.
Before the shrine of the Martial Emperor, clouds are just dispersing;
Upon the Palm of the Immortal, the rain has newly cleared.
Rivers and mountains to the north rest against the rugged Qin passes;
Post-road trees to the west stretch level to the Han altars.
I would ask the travelers by the roadside, chasing fame and gain:
Why not here seek the secret of eternal life?
行經華陰
岧嶤太華俯咸京，天外三峰削不成。
武帝祠前雲欲散，仙人掌上雨初晴。
河山北枕秦關險，驛樹西連漢畤一作「時」平。
借問路傍名利客，無如此處學長生。
