May Hou translates



Premier of the Shu  Kingdom



Where is the well-known premier’s temple to be found?

Outside the City of Brocade, with cypresses around.



Verdant grasses grow along the stairs, presenting a wonderful spring with no one seeing.

Golden orioles sing amid the leaves, performing a pleasant song with no one listening.



Three times his former lord visited his hut for strategies to unify the country as a whole.

Two reigns he served the kingdom with his extraordinary intelligence heart and soul.



Unfortunately he passed away in arms before achieving the final triumph.

How could heroes not sigh sorrowfully with tears staining their sleeves!



--Du Fu
