Here I am, on a spring excursion,
With apricot flowers blown full on my head.
In that young fellow in yonder path—
More than romance and love, I have read.
If I could just be married to him,
My destiny would be for e'er set.
Granted: he might at last forsake me.
I'd have nothing whate'er to regret.
春日游，杏花吹满头。
陌上谁家少年，足风流。
妾拟将身嫁与，一生休。
纵被无情弃，不能羞。
By Wei Zhuang
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.
