廬山記 4.26

4.26

懸裝亂水區。旅薄次山楹。千巖狀岨積。萬壑勢迴縈。巃嵸高昔貌。紛亂襲前名。洞澗窺地脈。竦樹隱天經。松磴一迷密。雲竇下縱橫。陰氷實夏結。尖樹信冬榮。

With suspended baggage I navigate the disordered waters; / The traveler halts beside the mountain eaves. / A thousand crags pile up in uneven ruggedness; / Ten thousand ravines wind and coil in their momentum. / Towering high, it outdoes its former appearance; / Tumultuous and entangled, it inherits its ancestral fame. / Deep gorges peek into the veins of the earth; / Soaring trees conceal the warp of heaven. / The pine-clad stone steps are deeply bewildering; / Cloud-caverns crisscross down below. / Shade-bound ice indeed congeals in summer; / Sharp-leaved trees truly flourish in winter.
