玉臺觀 杜甫

玉臺觀      杜甫(712-770)

浩剎因王造，平臺訪古遊，  

綵雲蕭史駐，文字魯恭留。  

宮闕通群帝，乾坤到十洲，

人傳有笙鶴，時過北山頭。  

The Jade Terrace Temple            Du Fu (712-770)

The Prince of Teng built this grand temple,

On this terrace similar to that built by Prince Liang Xiao of Han I stroll,

Amidst the overhanging colour clouds the supernal Xiao Shi nestles,

Here the inscripted writings bear resemblance to Prince Lu Gong of Han’s original scrawl,

To the Jade Emperor of Heaven through this grand temple one can trail,

From here one could reach out to the ten oceanic fairy soils,

Over the north peak of the mountain playing their flutes on their flying cranes one often see many a supernal.
