沁园春雪　　　 毛泽东　

 一九三六年二月　

北国风光千里冰封万里雪

飘望长城内外惟余莽莽

大河上下顿失滔滔山舞银蛇

原驰蜡象欲与天公试比高

须晴日看红装素裹分外妖娆

江山如此多妖

引无数英雄竞折腰

惜秦皇汉武略输文采

唐宗宋祖稍逊风骚一代天骄

成吉思汗只识弯弓射大雕

俱往矣数风流人物还看今朝

Both sides of the Great Wall
　　One single white immensity.
　　The Yellow River's swift current
　　Is stilled from end to end.
　　The mountains dance like silver snakes
　　And the highlands* charge like wax-hued elephants,
　　Vying with heaven in stature.
　　On a fine day, the land,
　　Clad in white, adorned in red,
　　Grows more enchanting.
　　This land so rich in beauty
　　Has made countless heroes bow in homage.
　　But alas! Chin Shih-huang and Han Wu-ti
　　Were lacking in literary grace,
　　And Tang Tai-tsung and Sung Tai-tsu
　　Had little poetry in their souls;
　　And Genghis Khan,
　　Proud Son of Heaven for a day,
　　Knew only shooting eagles, bow outstretched
　　All are past and gone!
　　For truly great men
　　Look to this age alone.
