1、《桃花溪》

隱隱飛橋隔野煙,石磯西畔問漁船。
桃花盡日隨流水,洞在清溪何處邊?
Peach Blossom Brook
By Zhang Xu (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Mist shrouds the floating bridge far out ofsight;
I ask the fisher boat west of stone height.
Peach blooms drift down the stream all daylong;
Where lies the cave by clear brook’s winding throng?

Ode to Peach Spring I

Ask not the counties' names that then didhold.

Mourning Taoist Xue of Peach Spring
By Liu Yuxi (Tang Dynasty)

Thousands of peach trees he planted bloomwide;
No owner walks the hills to greet spring’s tide.

Inscription on Wuling Cave IV
By Cao Tang (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli

水垂青靄斷,松偃綠蘿低。
世上迷途客,經茲盡不迷。
Seeking Peach Spring
By Zhang Qiao (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
Wuling’s springgrass grows lush and uniform;
Flower shadows veil the clear brook’s tranquil form.
Far paths lie bare where mortal feet scarcetread;
Empty hills echo with wild birds’ soft spread.
Mist hangs o’erstreams to break the green cascade;
Pines bow low under green ivy’s shade.
All lost wanderers from mortal earth stray;
Once here, they lose their confusing way.

11、《古風·其三十一》(節選)
(唐) 李白
鄭客西入關,行行未能已。
白馬華山君,相逢平原里。
璧遺鎬池君,明年祖龍死。
秦人相謂曰,吾屬可去矣。
一往桃花源,千春隔流水。
Ancient Ballad No.31 (Excerpt)
By Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
A man from Zheng went west through Hanguangate,
He tramped and tramped, nor could his marchabate.
The Hua Mount god rode a white steed fair,
We crossed each other on the level lair.
He left a jade disc for Haochi’s lord to take,
Next year the First Dragon’s life shall break.
The Qin townsfolk murmured each to each,
“We ought to flee this evil realm’s bleak reach.”
Once they fled far to Peach Spring’s hidden shore,
Streams cut them off a thousand springs ofyore.
Note: This poem originates from Qinlegends. The deity of Hua Mountain on a white horse gives a jade disc to theZheng traveler to give to the Water God of Haochi. This foretells the death ofthe First Emperor (Qin Shi Huang). Upon hearing this prophecy, local Qin peopleescape chaos to Peach Blossom Spring, separated from the mortal world by riversfor thousands of years.(注:此詩源于秦朝傳說。華山神騎白馬,將玉盤贈予鄭國游子,命其送至鎬池水神,此乃預示秦始皇(號曰始皇帝)之死兆。聞此預言,秦地百姓避亂至桃花源,與塵世隔絕,歷經千年。)
12、《桃源行》
(唐)王維
漁舟逐水愛山春,兩岸桃花夾古津。
坐看紅樹不知遠,行盡青溪不見人。
山口潛行始隈隩,山開曠望旋平陸。
遙看一處攢云樹,近入千家散花竹。
樵客初傳漢姓名,居人未改秦衣服。
居人共住武陵源,還從物外起田園。
月明松下房櫳靜,日出云中雞犬喧。
驚聞俗客爭來集,競引還家問都邑。
平明閭巷掃花開,薄暮漁樵乘水入。
初因避地去人間,及至成仙遂不還。
峽里誰知有人事,世中遙望空云山。
不疑靈境難聞見,塵心未盡思鄉縣。
出洞無論隔山水,辭家終擬長游衍。
自謂經過舊不迷,安知峰壑今來變。
當時只記入山深,青溪幾度到云林。
春來遍是桃花水,不辨仙源何處尋。
Journey to Peach Spring
By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)
Translated by Wang Yongli
A fishing boat follows spring mountaintide;
Peach blooms line banks of ancient fordbeside.
I watch red blooms and lose all sense ofspace;
Clear brook ends, no human meets my gaze.
A narrow path winds through the mountainbend;
Hills open wide, flat plains extend withoutend.
Far off, thick trees wrapped in faint mistshroud;
Nearby, a thousand homes with blooms andbough.
Woodcutters first speak Han’s surnames andstory;
Villagers still wear robes of old Qin’sarray.
They dwell in Wuling’s secluded ground,
Beyond mortal world, their farmlands safeand sound.
Pines shade quiet houses under moon’s paleglow;
At sunrise, cocks crow loud and hounds barkslow.
Shocked by the stranger, villagers throngnear;
They lead me home, to hear my hometownclear.
At dawn they sweep fallen blooms from eachlane;
At dusk, fishers and woodmen drift down themain.
They fled the mortal world’s chaotic turn;
Once they attain immortality, they ne’er return.
Who in these valleys knows worldly care?
From mortal lands we gaze at misty peaksbare.
I believe this hidden realm is hard totrace;
Yet mortal heart still longs for nativeplace.
I leave the cave, cross hills and streamsafar;
I leave my home to rove where strangesights are.
I thought my former path I could retrace;
How could I know peaks and valleys shifttheir space?
I only marked deep hills where I once didstray,
Clear brooks wind through cloud woods alongthe way.
Spring comes again, peach blooms floodwater’s side;
Where lies the hidden source I can’tdescry.
