地灵丘壑邃,危路入紫烟。
藤萝閟尺水,中有龙潜渊。
青曦弄骄晖,绍兴丙辰年。
嗷嗷周余民,生理谅难全。
令尹谢不敏,来上天公笺。
一念如丝芒,已斡造化权。
夜半雷绕山,雨出山之巅。
凌晨眺四郊,草木亦欣然。
民戴神之休,次谓令尹贤。
贤则吾岂敢,庶逭失职愆。
甲兵久不洗,风霾涨尘寰。
兹事非神助,谁其荡腥膻。
物极理必反,否泰如循环。
神龙傥有意,速起飞九天。
地灵丘壑邃,危路入紫烟。
藤萝閟尺水,中有龙潜渊。
青曦弄骄晖,绍兴丙辰年。
嗷嗷周余民,生理谅难全。
令尹谢不敏,来上天公笺。
一念如丝芒,已斡造化权。
夜半雷绕山,雨出山之巅。
凌晨眺四郊,草木亦欣然。
民戴神之休,次谓令尹贤。

甲兵久不洗,风霾涨尘寰。
兹事非神助,谁其荡腥膻。
物极理必反,否泰如循环。
神龙傥有意,速起飞九天。
此地灵秀,山谷幽深,
险峻的道路延伸入紫色的云烟。
藤萝遮蔽着一尺见方的深水,
其中有潜龙深藏于渊。
明亮的晨曦炫耀着骄阳的光辉,(这是)绍兴丙辰年。
嗷嗷待哺的周朝遗民,生计想来难以保全。
县令自谦无能,
来向上天呈递祈雨的文书。
一个念头细微如丝芒,
却已运转了造化的权柄。
半夜雷声环绕山峦,
雨水从山顶倾泻而出。
清晨眺望四方郊野,
草木也显得欢欣喜悦。
百姓感戴神灵的恩惠,
接着又称赞县令贤能。
“贤能我哪里敢当,
只希望免除失职的罪愆。”
甲兵久未清洗,
风沙阴霾弥漫尘世。
这件事若非神灵相助,
谁能涤荡这腥膻之气?
事物发展到极点必然转向反面,
困厄与通达如循环往复。
神龙倘若有意,
请速速飞升九天之上。
The spirit of the land lies deep in gorge and hill,
A perilous path leads into purple mist so still.
Vines and creepers hide a pool, a foot of water deep,
Wherein a dragon lies in slumber, secrets keep.
The bright sun played with proud and scorching rays,
In the Bǐngchén year of Shaoxing's days.
The wailing people, remnants of Zhou's line,
Their livelihood, I fear, could hardly be fine.
The magistrate confessed his lack of skill,
And sent a plea to Heaven, to state his will.
A thought as fine as silk or awn of grain,
Already turned Creation's wheel with might and main.
At midnight, thunder coiled around the mountain high,
And rain poured down from where the peaks touch the sky.
At dawn, I gazed upon the countryside around,
Even the grass and trees with joy were crowned.
The people praised the god's benevolent grace,
Then said the magistrate deserved a place.
"Worthy I dare not claim to be,
I only hope to flee from dereliction's plea."
Long unwashed were the arms and armor's stain,
Wind-blown haze and dust o'er the world did reign.
If not by divine aid in such affairs,
Who could cleanse this stench of blood and fears?
Things at their extreme must turn around,
Adversity and fortune move in cycles bound.
If the divine dragon has intent so grand,
Rise swiftly, fly to the ninth heaven's land.
祈雨之旅是对自然周期与天人关系的古老认知实践。
描绘前往深山龙鹤之地祈雨途中的幽深险峻之景。
