Send Off Vice-Magistrate Cui to Yan Chi
送淹池崔主簿
邑 带 洛 阳 道
年 年 应 此 行。
当 时 匹 马 客
今 日 县 人 迎。
暮 雨 投 关 郡
春 风 别 帝 城。
东 西 殊 不 远
朝 夕 待 佳 声。

Yi dai luo yang dao
Nian nian ying ci xing.
Dang shi pi ma ke
Jin ri xian ren ying.

Chun feng bie di cheng.
Dong xi shu bu yuan
Zhao xi dai jia sheng.
Send Off Vice-Magistrate Cui to Yan Chi
This city on the road to Luoyang
Every year they travel here to take the imperial exams.
At this time you traveled on a single horse
Today you have many county people to greet you.
Rain at sunset, stay over in an area outside the city gates
You and the spring wind depart for the capital.
This city close to both Luoyang and Chang’an
Await morning and evening for good news about you.
