Living at Wangchuan: To Pei Di
王维
倚杖柴门外
临风听暮蝉
渡头馀落日
墟里上孤烟
yǐ zhàng chái mén wài
lín fēng tīng mù chán
dù tóu yú luò rì
xū lǐ shàng gū yān
倚杖柴门外，临风听暮蝉；渡头馀落日，墟里上孤烟。
An ordinary Wangchuan evening—Chan in daily life.
王维辋川闲居：寒山转苍翠——赠友以景，友谊在共享的安静里。可与《山居秋暝》同系。友谊有时是共享一场山色的变幻。今日：真正的陪伴，有时是一起看山变色，不必多话。
Wang Wei’s Wangchuan idle: cold hills turning emerald—gift of scene to a friend; friendship in shared quiet. Pair with Autumn Evening in the Hills. Today: real company is sometimes watching a hill change color, few words needed.
平凡傍晚也可以是一首诗——留意蝉声与炊烟。
An ordinary evening can be a poem—notice cicadas and smoke.
Read first, then practice — fill in lines and write a character.

This poem belongs to a place on the map—open the landscape to read both together.
