Bi Liangzhou's Ancient Poems

original work

Liangzhou song

(Tang) Wang Zhihuan

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds.

Wan Ren is an isolated city.

Why should a strong brother complain about willow?

The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.

Translation of works

The yellow sand rolled up by the wind seems to be connected with white clouds.

Yumenguan stands alone in the mountains and looks lonely and cold.

Why do you want to play the sad song "Folding Willow" with Qiangdi? Yumenguan generation has no willow fold!

It turns out that the spring breeze around Yumenguan can't blow!

Liangzhou Ci is a musical title. Geography of the Book of Jin: "The Han Dynasty changed Yongzhou into Liangzhou", and Leyuan: "The lyrics and songs of Liangzhou Palace were introduced by Guo Zhiyun, governor of Xiliang in the middle of Kaiyuan". Liangzhou in ancient times is now Liangzhou District, Wuwei City, Gansu Province. During the Kaiyuan period, Guo Zhiyun, the Chinese ambassador to Longyou, collected a batch of western music scores and presented them to Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Xuanzong handed it to Jiao Fang to translate it into China's music score, sang it with new lyrics, and took the place names produced by these music scores as the title of the song. Later, many poets liked this tune and wrote new words for it. Therefore, many poets in the Tang Dynasty wrote Liangzhou Ci, such as Wang Zhihuan, William Wang and Zhang Ji, among which Wang Zhihuan's Liangzhou Ci, also known as Chusai, is the most famous.
