Send Off Yan Da Who Is Going to Guizhou
Eight famous trees, tiny scrolls of luxuriant green
This land to the south of Hunan.
Rivers like a lady’s long green belt
Mountains like bluish-green jade hairpins of the Zhan’s ladies.
Families naturally and easily plant sweet orange trees
Your good fortune to be able to ascend with the returning immortals.
Many households simply collect kingfisher feathers to send to the palace
You do not need a team of horses or a flying luan to be in with the emperor.
Notes:
Guizhou: Province in western China, to the south of Sichuan.
Famous trees: The osmanthus trees are native to southern China. An evergreen tree connected to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Zhan ladies: Ethnic minority in the mountains of Guangxi.
Luan: Mythological bird that flies among the clouds. The Chinese phoenix.
