★ Gathering Ghosts Tower (Second) (Seven Jue)

☆ Poetry by Zhang Hu (785? -849? , Tang Dynasty, China)
☆ Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


The Emperor heaped favours upon Lady Guoguo
Rode a horse through the Palace gate at dawn
But she disliked and avoided that cosmetics would dirty her pretty
For seeing the Emperor, drew her eyebrows thin

注：虢国夫人，唐朝玄宗皇帝宠妃杨玉环的三姐。
Note: Lady Guoguo, third elder sister of Concubine Gui-Yang Yuhuan, who was a favoring concubine of Emperor Xuanzong, Tang Dynasty.

虢国夫人承主恩
平明骑马入宫门
却嫌脂粉污颜色
淡扫峨眉朝至尊
