Luo Hong Qu · And Then

Luo Hong Qu · And Then · Illustration

I have a brush of wind and dust, one lone rider unequalled under heaven. The blue current swallows the desert sea; the sun rising from its bath in the water meets the mountains' spirit.

Glosses—

Luo Hong Qu: the tune name, read luó hǒng qǔ;
Rider [qi]: here read jì;
Desert sea [hanhai]: the desert;
Sun bathing [yuri]: the sun just rising from the surface of the water;
Mountains' spirit [yueling]: the numinous essence, the vital breath of the mountains.
