东南形胜，三吴都会，钱塘自古繁华。
烟柳画桥，风帘翠幕，参差十万人家。
云树绕堤沙。怒涛卷霜雪，天堑无涯。
市列珠玑，户盈罗绮，竞豪奢。
Contemplating the Tide-Swept Sea by Liu Yong
Unrivalled stands Qiantang in the southeast,
The heart of the Three Wu lands,
Since days of yore, it hath flourished in grace.
Its mist-veiled willows, its ornate bridges,
Its breeze-filtered portieres, its emerald drapes,
Some ten thousand homes fill all this place.
The sandy dikes the cloud-reaching trees embrace.
The tidal waves roar to swirl frost and snow
Towards boundless heavenly space.
Fairs hustling here, markets bustling there,
O, every household hoards satins and gems —
All striving in an extravagant race.
The heart of the Three Wu lands,
Since days of yore, it hath flourished in grace.
Its mist-veiled willows, its ornate bridges,
Its breeze-filtered portieres, its emerald drapes,
Ten thousand homes fill all this place.
The sandy dikes the cloud-crowned trees embrace.
The tidal waves roar to swirl frost and snow
Towards boundless heavenly space.
Hither brisk marts, thither bazaars throng,
All households hoard brocade and gems —
In splendour do they vie and race.
----- the first stanza / tr. Ziyuzile
