自从进入桂林境内
我便感到自己有些迷糊
在漓江船上尤其如此（注一）
怎么我持续不停地
在一幅幅山水国画里
钻进又钻出，钻出又钻进？
那些山水国画是谁画的？
我又是怎么被画进去的？
层岩持续呈现柔美的线条
塑造出多所像类的山容（注二）
众草和群树在山水适当的地方
涂染着清新悦目的绿色
蝉鸣和鸟啭细雨般喷洒各处
增加清爽、宁静和悠闲的强度
清风徐来，水波微漾
来出漾起脸上满意的微笑
山不转而船转人转
草不转树不转而船转人转
影像却随船转人转而转
不管转或不转，我能肯定
那一幅幅都是山水国画
只是我一直闹不清到底
那些山水国画是谁画的？
我又是怎么被画进去的？
注一：“桂林山水甲天下，阳溯山水甲桂林。”漓江贯穿两地，最美处则在阳溯县境，舟泛通常由漓江码头上船。
注二：漓江两岸山容多所像类，较著名的有羊角山、老人取苹果、八仙过海、九马画山、狗熊回看九马画山等，至于伏波山、象鼻山则不在舟泛途程内。
Boating on Lijiang River Hsu ChiCheng
Since entering the bounder of Guilin
I feel as if I am in a daze
Especially on a boat floating on Lijiang River
Why I keep getting into
Or coming out of landscape paintings
One after another?
Who draw those landscape paintings?
And how am I drawn in them?
Range upon range of undulating hills
Creating a lot of images in their appearances*2
Grasses and woods at the right spots
Painting the mountains and rivers green
The singing voice of cicadas and birds spray everywhere like a drizzle
Bringing freshness and peacefulness
A cool breeze is blowing gently over the rippling water
Brimming with an innocent smile on the face
Hills don’t move but the boats and people
Grasses and woods don’t move but boats and people
Yet, images move with boats and people
No matter they move or not, I can say for sure
Those are all landscape paintings
What I don’ know clearly is
By whom those landscape painting are drawn
And how I am drawn in them
*1. “The scenery of Guilin is second to none on earth, and Yangshou’s landscapes is the best in Guilin”. Lijiang River runs through the two places, and its best scenery is in Yangshou County. Baoting usually starts from Lijiang dock.
*2. Most of the hills on both sides of Lijiang River are variety in images. The famous ones are including Ram’s-Horn-Hill, Old-Man-Getting Apples, theEight-Immortals-Going-Across-The Sea, Nine-Horses-Picture-Hill, Black-Bears-Looking-Back-to-Nine-Horses-Picture-Hill, and so on. As for Fubo Hill and Trunk Hill, they are not along the route of going boating.@
