Saw A Person Off In The Wuling Peach Garden Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Saw a Person Off in the Wuling Peach Garden

☆ Poetry by Bao Rong (695? -764? , Tang Dynasty, China)
☆ Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


Wuling River trail deep and serene
There are chickens, dogs and families of Qin Dynasty, too
Who were them before we went to see?
Again the Garden Water and peaches in bloom

注：晋代陶渊明《序桃花源记》记述一个世俗的渔人偶然进入与世隔绝之地的奇遇记。本文幻想了一个没有阶级，没有剥削，自给自足，人人自得其乐的社会，是当时的黑暗社会的鲜明对照，是作者与时人所向往的一种理想社会。它体现了人们的追求与想往，也反映出人们对现实的不满与反抗。
Note: 'Peach Garden Note' of Tao Yuanming of Jin Danasty recorded and narrated an adventure in mind of a secular fisherman accidentally entered into a place being cut off from the outside world. In this article fantasied a no class, no exploitation, self-sufficient and everyone self-enjoying society. It was a fresh contrast of that dark society. It was an ideal society that people and the author yearned for. It reflected the people's pursuit and yearn. And reflected the people’s discontent and revolt to the reality.

武陵川径入幽遐
中有鸡犬秦人家
先时见者为谁耶
源水今流桃复花
