Lugouxiaoyue Qianlong's memorial Marco Polo Bridge

Lugou Qiao - Marco Polo Bridge
卢沟桥的历史

The Moon over the Lugou Bridge at Dawn

As stars still twinkle in the sky,
roosters in a thatched hostel crow to wake up the sun;
The crescent still hangs above clouds;
Each time I visit here,
I couldn’t help recalling the past.

卢沟晓月

茅店寒鸡咿喔鸣,
曙光斜汉欲参横。
半钩留照三秋淡,
一蝀分波夹镜明。
入定衲憎心共印,
怀程客子影犹惊。
迩来每踏沟西道,
触景那忘黯尔情。
