Playing Chess On A Chessboard Poem by Luo Zhihai

棋枰对弈

情若棋枰何言胜负
世如河水总有清浊
长亭对弈以星作子
闲院醉痴饮酒唱歌


Playing Chess On A Chessboard

The love like a chessboard
how could we measure success or failure?
The world like river water
were always clear or turbid

In a pavilion playing chess
stars as chess pieces
In the leisurely courtyard
drunken and obsessed
drinking and singing
