It was on the sixteenth of the seventh month of the lunar calendar,in the autumn of the year of Renxu,that my friends and I went boating along the foot of the Red Cliff.A light breeze was blowing gently without ruffling the calm water.Wine cup in hand,I toasted my companions and recited the first verse of “The Moon Rises”from The Book of Songs.Presently the moon rose above the eastern mountain,where it hung between the Dipper and the Cowherd,whilst the river,in a white mist,merged with the moonlit sky.I let the boat drift freely as it continued its motion across the vast expanse of the river.How mighty this was!I felt like one wind-blown over infinite waves,not knowing where to land.And how light-hearted I was!I was beyond worldly cares,and,like a fairy,was taking flight to the sky.
We drank our wine in good cheer.I beat a rhythm on the side of the boat and began to sing, “Ah!Oars made of cinnamon wood and rudder made of magnolia wood!You are striking the crystal clear water lit by the bright moon and pushing our boat ahead against the shimmering currents.How deep my feelings are,since the person I most long for is far away on the other side of the earth.”
