Jiang Dongzhi (Ming Dynasty)


Jiaxiulou
Jiang Dongzhi (Ming)

Rising from the clear slow flowing Ming River,
Newly built on an island connected by a sandbar.
Three lions
powerful
offer protection,
Successful candidates
astride great horses.
Fishermen perch on rocks
Peach blossoms float on waves,
Ancestral temple before
A boat below.
Today overlooking the river
I admire this tower
in the river's flow
proping up heaven.
