Listen to this article七言律詩
杜甫
詠懷古跡五首之四
蜀主征吳幸三峽， 崩年亦在永安宮。
翠華想像空山裡， 玉殿虛無野寺中。
古廟杉松巢水鶴， 歲時伏臘走村翁。
武侯祠屋常鄰近， 一體君臣祭祀同。

POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES IV
The ruler of Shu had his eyes on Wu and progressed as far as the Three Gorges.
In the year of his demise, too, he was in the Palace of Eternal Peace.
The blue-green banners can be imagined on the empty mountain,
The jade palace is a void in the deserted temple.
In the pines of the ancient shrine aquatic cranes nest;
At summer and winter festivals the comers are village elders.
The Martial Marquis’s memorial shrine is ever nearby;
In union, sovereign and minister share the sacrifices together.
