What a day it is?Row a boat on Changjiang river.
What a day it is?Rove with the prince at here.
Humble prince,treats me as a gem.
Hushful heart,beats with an adagio.
Twigs on the trees,trees on the hill,oh,
My prince,why doesn't you find how i think of you?
今夕何夕兮，搴舟中流。
今日何日兮，得与王子同舟。
蒙羞被好兮，不訾诟耻。
心几烦而不绝兮，得知王子。
山有木兮木有枝，心悦君兮君不知。

Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
