Bird’s-Eye View of Mt. Huangshan Hsu Chicheng
莲花峰
四周小峰簇拥着
让主峰高耸突出
这莲花峰正如
新莲初开，冲霄怒放
登临其上，晴时
东望天目，西瞻匡庐，北窥
九华与长江，雨后出晴
再将云海和痴念尽收眼底
哦！且独坐这云霄
静观世态万变吧！
Lotus Peak
Set off by low peaks all around
Lotus Peak reaches to the clouds
Just like lotus
In full blossoms
Reaching its top in a sunny day
Watching Mt. Tianmu to the east
Watching Mt. Lusan to the west
Watching to Mt. Jiuhua and Yangtze River to the north
After gloom comes brightness, sea of clouds and chimerical idea come into view
O, let me sit alone on the clouds watching all manifestation of universe!
始信峰
漫说黄山风景奇绝
有名峰高耸
幽谷悬崖
秀水瀑布
巧石争妍
奇松林立
云蒸霞蔚
只有跟随黄习远
亲来践履，一窥其奥
始信!
注：相传黄习远自云谷寺游至此峰，如入画境，似幻而真，方信黄山风景奇绝，题名“始信”，此峰因以得名。
Shixin Peak
The scenery of Mt. Huangshan is famous for its magnificence
High peaks towering into the sky
Deep valleys and overhanging cliffs
Beautiful waters and waterfalls
Jagged rocks of grotesque shapes
Ancient pines of grotesque shapes and appearances
All look magnificent
Only when you make a tour of Mt. Huangshan
Following Huang Xiyuan
You will be wholly convinced by its unchanting beautiy!
Note:Tradition has it that a person named Huang Xiyuan in the Ming Dynasty, once reached this peak from Yungu Temple, he felt as if entering a beautiful dreamland, so he named this peak Shixin Peak.
光明顶
旁无依附
兀立
如一覆钵
高旷开阔
日光照射
光明呀光明
朝奉吧!
黄山六峰，以及
更远的天目、庐山……
Bright Summit
Standing erect
All alone
Like an alms bowl place upside down
High, spacious and wide
Bathed in sunlight
So bright, so bright
Swear fealty to it!
The other six peaks of Mt. Huangshan
Mt. Tianmu and Mt. Liushan in the distance…
猴子观海
蹲立峰顶
石猴张开手掌放在眉头上
眺向前方
身子左右微晃
努力搜寻着
他在眺望、搜寻什么？
前方呀
阴时，云海
晴时，太平
注：猴子观海又名猴观太平。太平指太平县，为安徽黄山市所属黄山区。
Monkey Watching the Sea
Squatting on the summit
A monkey-shaped rock is looking in distance
With one hand across its forehead
With its body shaking gently
It is trying to seek
What is he watching and seeking?
In the distance
Appears the sea of clouds when it is gloomy
Peace and franquillity when it is sunny
Note: “Monkey Watching the Sea” alias “Monkey Enjoying Peace and Tranquillity”. Here “Peace and Tranquillity” refers in meaning to the former Taiping County – now Taiping District of Huangshan City, Anhui prov.
仙人下棋
身穿道袍，头挽发髻的仙人
成排在那里干什么？
闲聊？散步？
唯独两人对坐
以平整的树冠当棋枰
潜心下棋
车马奔驰……
烟雾弥漫……
炮声隆隆……
观棋的丞相是裁判？
背宝的仙人是给奖者？
棋枰的风云会伤及他们吗？
Immortals Playing Chess
What are they doing, the row of immortals
In Taoist robes and with their hair worn in a bun?
Are they chatting or walking?
Only two of them are sitting face to face
Playing chess attentively
With a flat-roofed crown as the chessboard
Carriages and horses running…
Smoken-laden…
Rumble of booming guns…
Is the Chief Minister watching a chess game the judge?
Is the immortal carrying treasure on his back the award-giver?
Will they be injured by the wind of chessboard?
关公挡曹
黄山这本大书里
包罗万象，无奇不有
记载“关公挡曹”的历史掌故
其实不足奇
读来饶富趣味
史页历历如昨
画面栩栩如生
跨马的关公，何须理会
曹操的卑躬屈膝？
久藏的恩恩怨怨
何故还翻出来晾晒？
Guan Yu Standing in Cao Cao’s Way
Mt. Huangshan, a great historical records
All-inclusive and with many wonderful views
The historical anecdotes about “Guan Yu Standing in Cao cao’s Way”
Has nothing to be surprised at
Yet it affords the greatest delight in reading
The historical events come clearly into view
And the tableaus are lifelike
Actually, there was no need for Guan Yu
To have a pity on Cao Cao bowing before his horse
Why the old scores
Were brought to aired again?
松谷
岩壁陡峭，耸向苍穹
太阳光难以寻隙而入
这里有满山满谷的
溪、瀑、潭、池……
丛生万树
郁绿青苔
沿谷登山
经…“仙人铺路”
再走“十八道弯”
到达北海
心中深深根植着
无数奇松
Pines Ravine
Cliffs rise steeply towering into the clouds
Sunlight is hard to find a crevice to pass through
Streams, waterfalls, pond and pools
Appear everywhere thickly
Lichen, lush and green
Climbing along the valley
Through the “Fairy-build Road”
Then the “Eighteen Bends”
Reaching “The North Sea” at last
Countless exotic pines
Taking root in my mind
云谷
进入云谷
穿梭于
群峰和溪水之间
云飞雾绕之间
林、泉、松、石之间
便仿佛进入三度空间
所有空间美纷纷撞来
进入云谷
眼见五光十色的美景
耳听天籁人音
鼻闻草木和泥土的芳馨
让微风轻拂
让云雾扑面
啊，这是怎样的诗境！
Clouds Ravine
Into Clouds Ravine
Sauntering over
Peaks and streams
Clouds and mist
Forest, springs, pines and rocks
As if into a three-dimensional space
All aesthetic feeling keep welling up
Into Clouds Ravine
Watching the beautiful scenery of all hues and colours
Hearing the sounds of nature and voices
Smelling the fragrance of grasses and earth
Let a breeze and mist
Lightly touch my face
Oh, what a poetic land!
天都峰
想登天都峰吗？
“于石壁外无路！”
无路？无路
怎么登顶？
走鲫鱼背吧！
那可是天险呀！
两侧悬崖千仞
风吹云涌
山摇地动……
你敢？你敢
就成仙人了
注：古人视此峰为“群仙所都”，取名“仙都峰”。
Fairies-Resided Peck
Do you want to reach Fairies-Resided Peck?
“No road but the cliff!”
No road? Without a road
How to reach its top?
Go through “carp’s Back”!
It is a natural barrier!
Cliffs high and steep on its both sides
When the wind rises and clouds rolls
The hills topple and the earth quakes…
Do you dare to climb it? If you do
You will become an immortal!
Note: The ancients regarded this peck as “The residence of all fairies” and named it “Fairies Resided Peak”.
