Since the night i got high with you,
i still couldn't forget your sexy fragrance.
Even we kissed each other crazily that night,
still we'd part,now i yearned you to the death.
Since the night i got high with you
- Poetry of Tsangyang Gyatso
《一自消魂那壁厢》Original Text (中文原文)
一自消魂那壁厢,至今寤寐不断忘。
当时交臂还相失,此后思君空断肠。

Reader's Companion
The Essence of the Verse
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.
Reading Between the Lines
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.
