《蓬莱三殿侍宴奉敕咏终南山应制》 杜审言
北斗挂城边,南山倚殿前。
云标金阙迥,树杪玉堂悬。
半岭通佳气,中峰绕瑞烟。
小臣持献寿,长此戴尧天。
Eternal Southern Mountain Written by Royal Order
Du Shenyan
The plough hangs over city walls,
The mountain slants before the halls.
Colden gate opens cloudy lips;
Jade palace hangs over treetips.
The mountainside exhales warm air,
The central peak veiled by mist fair.
I wish my lord happy birthday,
A long life and a reign for aye.
