A Picture of Wedding in Zhu-Chen Village
- Poetry of Su Shi

I

A great master of ancient days like Gu or Lu

Painted this picture of wedding of Chen and Zhu.

Tis said the villagers bear only these two names,

They would not change their household for Cui's and Lu's fames.

II

I came among apricot trees to advocate 

Farming in their village when I was magistrate.

But now you can find such picturesque scene no more,

For tax-collectors will nightly knock at the door.
