العبور جنوب ليتشو / Crossing South of Lizhou
**Crossing the River at Lizhou**
Tranquil waters face the slanting rays of dusk,
Winding isles in vast haze join the distant green.
On the waves a horse whines as oars drift away,
By the willows a man rests, waiting for the boat's return.
Several clumps of sand-side grass—flock of gulls disperse,
Ten thousand acres of river fields—a single egret flies.
Who understands riding a boat to seek Fan Li?
Amid the misty waters of Five Lakes alone, worldly schemes are forgotten.
利洲南渡
澹然空水對斜暉，曲島蒼茫接翠微。
波上馬嘶看棹去，柳邊人歇待船歸。
數叢沙草群鷗散，萬頃江田一鷺飛。
誰解乘舟尋范蠡，五湖煙水獨忘機。
