送友人

青山横北郭，白水绕东城。

此地一为别，孤蓬万里征。

浮云游子意，落日故人情。

挥手自兹去，萧萧班马鸣。

Farewell to a Friend by Xu Yuanchong

Green mountains bar the northern sky; White water girds the eastern town.

Here is the place to say good-bye; You’ll drift like lonely thistledown.

Like floating cloud you’ll float away; With parting day I’ll part from you.

We wave and you start on our way; Your horse still neighs: “Adieu, adieu!”

I’m not a big fan of Xu, but he has some good ideas, and in the first couplet, the rhythms sound exactly right. I think he was trying to write in iambs, but the heavy “green” and “white” at the beginnings of the lines actually create a spondee – two strong beats. And as a result, the rhythm of the five character line comes out beautifully. As it’s usually read, the five character line runs across two bars of common time music:

1 [rest] 2 [rest] | 1 2 3 [rest]

And a spondee in the first two syllables of the line can reproduce those two heavy beats. If you use three weak syllables for the second half of the line – or, as Xu has it here, three fairly light iambs, then you can get the feeling of the quicker three beats after the caesura.

So I tried applying this idea to some famous poems:

床前明月光，疑是地上霜。

举头望明月，低头思故乡。

Moonbeams by my bed

Seem strangely like a frost

Craned up to look at the moon

Sunk down to think of home

OR

Moonbeams by my bed

Seem strangely like a frost

Moon’s high, I lift my head

Slump back, home I lost

空山不见人，但闻人语响。

返景入深林，复照青苔上。

Void hills with no-one to be seen

Voice rings reflected on the cliffs

Slant rays come deep into the woods

Fleck moss with many spots of green

Those are just quick first attempts. There’s a lot to be done to smooth out the language, but I quite like the aural effect. In particular, I want to make use of a feature of English that I haven’t heard talked about before: that a string of words that sounds CVCVCVC seems quick and light, while (at least some) strings of CVC CVC CVC seem much heavier. This rhythmic resource gives us another tool to use as we reproduce the effects of Chinese verse.

What do you all think?

Are you looking for recommendations on how to get started with the classics? Would you like to branch out beyond the poems in textbooks and read something more unusual? Or do you have questions to ask and ideas to share? This is the place to explore your love of Chinese poetry. We also welcome recommendations for future Ming Aretê mini-courses.

You are welcome to post in any language you like. Please always be respectful of others, especially when they make an effort to use a foreign language.

Are you looking for recommendations as to where to start your study of the poetry of the British Isles? Are there any texts or authors you’d like to share (or discuss) with others? Is there a poem you’d particularly like to see Ming Aretê build a mini-course around? If so, this is the place for you.

Feel free to post here any questions, observations, or feedback that might have occurred to you as you took our brief course on Wang Wei’s poem. Whether or not you’ve seen the video, we’re interested in hearing your thoughts about the text. If you have a translation of your own, feel free to share it.

Let the conversation begin!
