蘇軾 大江東去，浪淘盡、千古風流人物。The Yangtze rushes toward the east, Its rolling waves have never cease', Unto time washing away Gallant souls of the bygone day.

The Yangtze rushes toward the east, Its rolling waves have never cease', Unto time, washing away Gallant souls of the bygone day.

【念奴嬌 • 赤壁懷古】 北宋 • 蘇軾

大江東去 ，浪淘盡，千古風流人物。
故壘西邊人道是，三國周郎赤壁。
亂石穿(崩)雲，驚濤拍(裂)岸，捲起千堆雪。
江山如畫，一時多少豪傑。

遙想公瑾當年，小喬初嫁了，雄姿英發。
羽扇綸巾談笑間，檣櫓灰飛煙滅。
故國神遊，多情應笑，我早生華髮。
人生如夢，一尊還酹江月。

TITLE: REMINISCING AT (Great Battle Site) CHIBI
-- SU SHI (1036-1101) (Northern Song Dynasty) 
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
 
The Yangtze rushes toward the east,
Its rolling waves have never cease',
Unto time, washing away
Gallant souls of the bygone day.
To the west of ruin'd old forts stiff,
They say, is the famed Crimson Cliff.
There, the Three-Kingdoms Zhou of Wu,
On Wei's warships wrought grief and woe!
The rugged rocks pierced the clouds low,
Crashing waves spate froth white as snow!
Here, once came fierce combatants brave,
Buried: beaut'ous hills, river -- their grave!

Remember General Zhou in his prime -- With his fair young bride at his side,
Gallant was he, with silk head-crest,
Feather fan -- Zhou was at his best!
As the handsome one laughed and spoke,
The enemy fleet sank in smoke!
Musing on country past, you see,
I laugh at sentimental me.
Because of my lingering care,
To gray early turns all my hair.
Life, to me, is just like a dream --
(Like the Moon dancing on the stream!)
O'er the river, fair Moon comes up -- To the Moon let me raise my cup!
