For the last several years I have been undertaking translation of classical Chinese poetry with Dr. Yin Gao. We will regularly be posting our translations together with the original Chinese and notes on the translation. To start with we will be posting poems by Su Shi, also known as Su Dong Po, a Song Dynasty poet.

Fill your salad days with poetry and wine 詩酒趁年華
