Zither-Like Instruments Poem by Luo Zhihai

琴瑟


生死偏方，草药医学针经络
争鸣有道，农兵儒法墨纵横
情归何处，欲操琴瑟问明月
草隐山中，静守芝兰待夏风


Zither-like Instruments


A folk prescription about life and death
herb-medicine, medical science and acupuncture
main and collateral channels
Contend for a way
agriculture, soldiers, Confucianism, Legalism and Mohist
vertically and horizontally

Where do the love return?
want to play zither-like instruments and ask the bright moon
Grass hides in the mountain
quietly guard irises and orchids
wait for the summer wind
