山莊在望 The Farmstead Comes into View

他tā一yì隻zhī手shǒu執zhí著zhe叉chā，一yì隻zhī手shǒu拖tuō著zhe虎hǔ，在zài前qián引yǐn路lù。三sān藏zàng牽qiān著zhe馬mǎ，隨suí後hòu而ér行xíng。迤yǐ𨓦lǐ行xíng過guò山shān坡pō，忽hū見jiàn一yí座zuò山shān莊zhuāng。那nà門mén前qián真zhēn個gè是shì：他tā一yì只zhī手shǒu执zhí著zhe叉chā，一yì只zhī手shǒu拖tuō著zhe虎hǔ，在zài前qián引yǐn路lù。三sān藏zàng牵qiān著zhe马mǎ，随suí后hòu而ér行xíng。迤yǐ𨓦lǐ行xíng过guò山shān坡pō，忽hū见jiàn一yí座zuò山shān庄zhuāng。那nà门mén前qián真zhēn个gè是shì：

參cān天tiān古gǔ樹shù，漫màn路lù荒huāng籐téng。参cān天tiān古gǔ树shù，漫màn路lù荒huāng籐téng。

萬wàn壑hè風fēng塵chén冷lěng，千qiān崖yá氣qì象xiàng奇qí。万wàn壑hè风fēng尘chén冷lěng，千qiān崖yá气qì象xiàng奇qí。

逐句解 Line by line

With one hand gripping his trident and the other dragging the tiger, he led the way in front, and Sanzang, leading his horse, came along behind. Winding on across the mountain slope, they suddenly caught sight of a farmstead. Before its gate, the sight was truly this:

迤𨓦 (yǐ lǐ), “winding along,” is a variant writing of 迤邐; 𨓦 (U+284E6) is a rare graph lying outside the Basic Multilingual Plane — the first such astral character to appear in this chapter.

參cān天tiān古gǔ樹shù，漫màn路lù荒huāng籐téng。参cān天tiān古gǔ树shù，漫màn路lù荒huāng籐téng。

Ancient trees that pierce the sky; wild vines that overrun the path.

The rhapsody paints the farmstead's setting — remote, rustic, and half-wild.

萬wàn壑hè風fēng塵chén冷lěng，千qiān崖yá氣qì象xiàng奇qí。万wàn壑hè风fēng尘chén冷lěng，千qiān崖yá气qì象xiàng奇qí。

In ten thousand ravines the wind-blown dust is cold; on a thousand cliffs the aspect is strange and rare.

一yí徑jìng野yě花huā香xiāng襲xí體tǐ，數shù竿gān幽yōu竹zhú綠lǜ依yī依yī。一yí径jìng野yě花huā香xiāng袭xí体tǐ，数shù竿gān幽yōu竹zhú绿lǜ依yī依yī。

Along one path the wild flowers' fragrance clings to the body; a few stems of secluded bamboo hang green and lush.

草cǎo門mén樓lóu，籬lí笆bā院yuàn，堪kān描miáo堪kān畫huà；草cǎo门mén楼lóu，篱lí笆bā院yuàn，堪kān描miáo堪kān画huà；

A thatched gate-tower, a wattle-fenced yard — fit to be sketched, fit to be painted;

石shí板bǎn橋qiáo，白bái土tǔ壁bì，真zhēn樂lè真zhēn稀xī。石shí板bǎn桥qiáo，白bái土tǔ壁bì，真zhēn乐lè真zhēn稀xī。

a flagstone bridge, whitewashed earthen walls — truly delightful, truly rare.

秋qiū容róng蕭xiāo索suǒ，爽shuǎng氣qì孤gū高gāo。秋qiū容róng萧xiāo索suǒ，爽shuǎng气qì孤gū高gāo。

The face of autumn is bleak and desolate; the crisp air stands lofty and alone.

道dào傍bàng黃huáng葉yè落luò，嶺lǐng上shàng白bái雲yún飄piāo。道dào傍bàng黄huáng叶yè落luò，岭lǐng上shàng白bái云yún飘piāo。

By the road the yellow leaves are falling; over the ridge the white clouds drift.

Within the sparse woods the mountain birds go clamouring; outside the farmstead gate the little dogs go yapping.

總評 Commentary

A quieter rhapsody than the combat-piece before it, and tonally a hinge. As Boqin leads the pilgrim, tiger in tow, over the slope to his home, the verse turns from violence to a rustic idyll — ancient trees and wild vines, a thatched gate and whitewashed walls, falling leaves and drifting clouds, the homely noise of mountain birds and yard dogs. “Fit to be sketched, fit to be painted,” it says of the scene, and the description indeed has the composed quality of a landscape painting. The passage completes the chapter's movement from the wilderness into the human world; the farmstead, remote and rough as it is, is a place of shelter, and its gate marks the threshold of the hospitality that fills the rest of the chapter.
