介绍:
Song for the Painted Landscape Screen of Liu Dan, Sheriff of Fengxian
Maple trees should not be growing in a hall—
amazing!—how these rivers and hills give off fog and mist.
I’ve heard you wiped away all other pictures of the heartland,
as on a whim you have painted the zest of gray isles.
Painters are innumerable[1],
but a skilled hand can’t be found;
Facing this, heart and spirit fuse[2] with it,
and I know how you honor the brush-hair and silk.
How could it just be only some Qi Yue or Zheng Qian?—
this brushwork surpasses by far Khitan Yang!
Can this not have been ripped from Xuanpu?
this must have spilled over from Xiao and Xiang.
I find myself quietly sitting beneath Mount Tianmu,
in my ears I seem to already hear clear cries of the gibbons.
I think back to a night before when wind and rain blew hard—
it was, in fact, spirits and wraiths[3] entering Pucheng.
This screen is still wet from the swirling effluence of Primal Vapor,
He-In-Charge complained above, and Heaven must have wept.
Spring returns to a wilderness pavilion, various flowers stretch far,
an old fisherman in darkness strides and stands upon his lone boat.
Canglang’s waters are deep, the blue dark is vast,
overhanging banks, slanting isles, the tips of autumn hairs.
I do not see the moment when Xiang goddesses play the zither,
but until today streaked[4] bamboo are alive overlooking the river.
Heaven’s workings are sharp in Master Liu,
his love of painting enters his bones and marrow.
He has two young sons
who also brandish[5] the brush without peer.
Your older son is exceptionally clever,
skilled at adding old trees to ridges and slopes.
Your younger son’s mind’s apertures are clear—
he depicts a mountain monk and his servant lad.
Ruoye Creek,
Yunmen Temple,
why am I here alone in the mud and mire?—
green sandals and homespun stockings will begin from this point on.
