The very last of winter's three months,
in the years of the Jinglong Reign,
The Prince of Hosts left the River Ba to view the ways of his land.
I see in the distance lightning leap,
dragons are his steeds;
I turn and spy the frosty plain whose fields are all of jade.
三冬季月景龙年，万乘观风出灞川。
遥看电跃龙为马，回瞩霜原玉作田。
By Shangguan Wan'er
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.
