渭水自縈秦塞曲,黃山舊遶漢宮斜。鑾輿迥出千門柳,閣道迴看上苑花。雲裡帝城雙鳳闕,雨中春樹萬人家。為乘陽氣行時令,不是宸遊玩物華。方宇吾兄方家正察。右丞詩。 辛丑中秋克耑作於香海。\r\nSeal: 曾氏伯子、克耑之印。\r\n\r\n 詩為王維《奉和聖製從蓬萊向興慶閣道中留春雨中春望之作應制》。\r\n\r\nThe Wei River by itself surroudns the songs of Qin borders,\r\nThe yellow mountains, ancient, wrap around the dilapidated Han palaces.\r\nChariots advance and go through the thousand gates of willow;\r\nOn hallway streets looking back and see the flowers of the upper garden.\r\nThe two phoenix pavilions of the emperor's city are in clouds,\r\nAnd a million common houses stay with spring trees in the rain.\r\nThis is to follow the season and ride the sun's spirit,\r\nNot playing around the beautiful matters on a trivial trip.\r\n\r\nFor the fair appreciation of brother Fangyu, poem by Wang Wei, written fall of 1961 at Xianghai.
