The Seoul Metropolitan Government has counted the 13 countries with the highest number of tourists visiting South Korea in the past year and selected 24 poems in these 13 languages, which include English, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai. Those well-known poems were collected from different countries through experts and embassies in South Korea.
The city government selected 13 subway stations taking into account the locations of embassies and locations related to major countries, etc. Three Chinese poems have been selected from 24 poems to be featured on the subway.
"Reading Chinese poems may help us understand more about China, I also felt that we all live in the same world, see things from similar perspectives, appreciate beauty, and express our emotions in a similar way," said a Seoul resident.
The global dissemination of ancient Chinese poetry owes much to the efforts of numerous scholars. Among them is the celebrated translator Xu Yuanchong, who dedicated his life to the cross-cultural translation work between China and the West, rendering Tang and Song poetry into English and enchanting readers with its beauty.
首尔地铁站出现的三首古诗词,许老曾译成充满韵律美的英文。一起来欣赏。
Going up the Hill
Du Mu
远上寒山石径斜,
I go by slanting stony path to the cold hill,
白云生处有人家。
Where rise white cloudy, there appear cottages and bowers.
停车坐爱枫林晚,
I stop my cab in maple woods to gaze my fill,
霜叶红于二月花。
Frost-bitten leaves look redder than early spring flowers.
《丑奴儿·书博山道中壁》
Song of Ugly Slave
辛弃疾
Xin Qiji
爱上层楼,爱上层楼,
I’d like to go upstair, I’d like to go upstair,
为赋新词强说愁。
To write new verses with a false despair.
而今识尽愁滋味,
I know what grief is now that I am old;
欲说还休,欲说还休,
I would not have it told, I would not have it told,
却道天凉好个秋。
But only say I’m glad that autumn’s cold.
(translated by Xu Yuanchong)
山中问答
A Dialogue in the Mountain
李白
Li Bai
问余何意栖碧山,
I dwell among green hills and someone asks me why,
笑而不答心自闲。
My mind carefree, I smile and give him no reply.
桃花流水窅然去,
Peach blossoms fallen on running water pass by,
别有天地非人间。
This is an earthly paradise beneath the sky.
(translated by Xu Yuanchong)
