和贾至舍人早期大明宫之作

王维

绛帻鸡人报晓筹,尚衣方进翠云裘。

九天阊阖开宫殿,万国衣冠拜冕旒。

日色才临仙掌动,香烟欲傍衮龙浮。

朝罢须裁五色诏,佩声归到凤池头。

Replying to Secretary Jia Zhi’s Poem

“An Early Levee at Daming Palace”

Wang Wei

The crimson-capped watchmen announce the break of day;

The wardrobe keepers just send in the green-cloud gown.

Portals to palaces open out wide all the way;

Envoys from various states come to worship the crown.

The fans began to sway when the aurora shows;

Around the dragon robe incense drifts to the full.

To draft five-coloured edicts at the levee’s close

You hurry back with pendants tinkling to Phoenix Pool.
