Transforming into an Insect in the Sky
In the air, the dragonfly soars,
With fluttering double wings.
Carefree, it hovers above,
Dancing in the dew.
Amidst the bean leaves, the breeze is gentle,
Waiting for what lies ahead.
Its shadow falls on silk,
Pausing like a celestial being.
In the air, the dragonfly soars,
With fluttering double wings.
Carefree, it hovers above,
Dancing in the dew.
Amidst the bean leaves, the breeze is gentle,
Waiting for what lies ahead.
Its shadow falls on silk,
Pausing like a celestial being.
扁豆蜻蜓圖
化身蟲天,翩翾雙羽。
逍遙凌空,吸露而舞。
豆葉風清,伺伏何所。
影落生綃,駐以仙組。
