长三角
曹方
一体商圈宁沪杭，
楼逐江势耀穹苍。
古来龙虎争吴越，
今日谁能比短长。
Yangtze River Delta
By CAO Fang
Tr. LYU Wenpeng
One trade zone links Nanjing, Hangzhou ‘n’ Shanghai;
Towers race tides, aglow to flaunt the sky.
From olden days, lords fought where Wu ‘n’ Yue lay;
Now who can stand to match this grand array?
奉节天坑地缝
曹方
地缝天坑羽客家，
丹崖直下秘朝霞。
传闻此处深难测，
谷底犹开十丈花。
Fengjie: Heaven Pit and Ground Seam
By CAO Fang
Tr. LYU Wenpeng
Heaven Pit and Ground Seam, where hermits stay;
Red cliffs plunge straight, where dawn’s first secrets lay.
A legend says no one can sound the deep;
Yet at the Pit, one-hundred-foot blooms leap.
