Seeing Off Editor Wang Chou-tz'u and Secretary Lin Shih-lai on Their Mission as Envoys to the Ryukyu Islands
Congealed vapors surge in vast space;
you ride the flow, and set out for the Great Wild.
You hear the Ocean God, whistling and singing;
striking the waves, approach the cosmic tree!
Sun and moon are swallowed and spit out;
dragons, leviathans plunge down and hide away.
You come to know the vastness of the world:
when Tsou Yen spoke of nine continents,
he was not telling lies.
you ride the flow, and set out for the Great Wild.
You hear the Ocean God, whistling and singing;
striking the waves, approach the cosmic tree!
Sun and moon are swallowed and spit out;
dragons, leviathans plunge down and hide away.
You come to know the vastness of the world:
when Tsou Yen spoke of nine continents,
he was not telling lies.
