    Bidding Farwell to Xin Jian at the Hibiscus House

    Bidding Farwell to Xin Jian at the Hibiscus House
    By: Wang Chang Ling (Translation: Aka)

    Overnight
    a chilly mist entered Wu*
    shrouded the river
    and connected the water and rain

    Daybreak
    I see my friend off
    facing the mountains of Chu
    which stand, over the image of its solitude

    Should my friends and family in Luoyang
    ask of me, let them know that:
    My heart is ever transparent
    just as that peerless core of ice
    shining in the jade vase in which it is held.

    *Wu: The area that was ruled by the Wu during the time of the Three Kingdoms.

    〈芙蓉樓送辛漸〉王昌齡

    寒雨連江夜入吳,平明送客楚山孤。洛陽親友如相問,一片冰心在玉壺。
