Training Duty Quietly In The Shallow World Poem by Luo Zhihai

薄世清修

秋高思緒遠，靜守綱常明世故
目斷雁聲殘，清修本分不風流
拋盡筆端涼，人間莫問情中魅
斟空杯內酒，薄世何須苦上求


Training Duty Quietly In The Shallow World

Autumn is high and thoughts are remote
I quiet to understand worldly-wise
to guard the three cardinal guides and the five constant virtues

I see sounds of wild geese are incomplete
training duty quietly
not dissolute

I throw out coldness on the pen tip
in the human world don't ask enchantment in love

In the shallow world, why do I pursue in bitterness?
drink all the wine in the cup!
