You sing a lover's lore;
I urge you to drink more.
What touches you and me？
Crows nest on willow tree.
Crows hide mid poplar flowers;
Drunk，you stay in my bowers.
Behold the censer and the sandalwood in fire!
Two wreaths of smoke combine and rise higher and higher.
君歌杨叛儿，妾劝新丰酒。
何许最关人，乌啼白门柳。
乌啼隐杨花，君醉留妾家。
博山炉中沉香火，双烟一气凌紫霞。
By Li Bai (Li Po)
Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
