《司馬徽再薦名士，劉玄德三顧草廬 - Sima Hui Recommends A Scholar To Liu Bei; Liu Bei Pays Three Visits To The Sleeping Dragon Ridge》 |

Liu Bei and his brothers stopped to listen to the song and, calling up one of the peasants, asked who made it. "It was made by Master Sleeping Dragon," said the laborer. "Then he lives hereabout. Where?" "South of this hill there is a ridge called the Sleeping Dragon, and close by is a sparse wood. In it stands a modest cottage. That is where Master Zhuge Liang takes his repose." Liu Bei thanked him and the party rode on. Soon they came to the ridge, most aptly named, for indeed it lay wrapped in an atmosphere of calm beauty. A poet wrote of it thus: | |
| 襄陽城西二十里，一帶高岡枕流水。高岡屈曲壓雲根，流水潺湲飛石髓。勢若困龍石上蟠，形如單鳳松陰裡。柴門半掩閉茅廬，中有高人臥不起。修竹交加列翠屏，四時籬落野花馨。床頭堆積皆黃卷，座上往來無白丁。叩戶蒼猿時獻果，守門老鶴夜聽經。囊裹名琴藏古錦，壁間寶劍映松文。廬中先生獨幽雅，閒來親自勤耕稼。專待春雷驚夢回，一聲長嘯安天下。 | ||

Not far from Xiangyang There stands, clear cut against the sky, A lofty ridge, and at its foot A gentle stream goes gliding by. The contour, curving up and down, Although by resting cloud it's marred, Arrests the eye; and here and there The flank by waterfalls is scarred. There, like a sleeping dragon coiled, Or phoenix hid among thick pines, You see, secure from prying eyes, A cot, reed-built on rustic lines. The rough-joined doors, pushed by the wind, Swing idly open and disclose The greatest genius of the world Enjoying still his calm repose. The air is full of woodland scents, Around are hedgerows trim and green, Close-growing intercrossed bamboos Replace the painted doorway screen. But look within and books you see By every couch, near every chair; And you may guess that common persons Are very seldom welcomed there. The hut seems far from human ken, So far one might expect to find Wild forest denizens there, trained To serve in place of humankind. Without a hoary crane might stand As warden of the outer gate; Within a long-armed gibbon come To offer fruit upon a plate. But enter; there refinement reigns; Brocaded silk the lutes protect, And burnished weapons on the walls The green of pines outside reflect. For he who dwells within that hut Is talented beyond compare, Although he lives the simple life And harvest seems his only care. He waits until the thunderous call Shall bid him wake, nor sleep again; Then will he forth and at his word Peace over all the land shall reign. |
