 沁园春·汉字颂  

赵安民

    故国东方，

    汉字通神，

    文脉久昌。

    幸羲皇创卦，

    天开一画；

    颉臣造字，

    界破洪荒。

    独体方圆，

    单音扬抑，

    义见形声万物彰。

    抒情志，

    有重章叠唱，

    思幻言长。

    今朝岁月铿锵，

    引无数诗人赋慨慷。

    看嘤鸣汉语，

    亲和世界；

    龙飞书法，

    流美诗乡。

    事在人为，

    梦由心画，

    丝路驼铃乐万邦。

    挥毫也，

    得江山助兴，

    绘我新章。

Spring in Soothing Park · Ode to Characters 

By ZHAO Anmin

Tr. ZHAO Yanchun

East Clime, my motherland!

Chinese characters grand,

Letters we all command.

Hexagrams Lord Hsi did create,

A Heavenly stroke great;

Cangji first words designed,

Hence no barriers to find.

Lo, shaped square and round;

Hark, the melodious sound!

Meaning and form reveal 

all without bound.

Expressed our wills strong,

Chapters and refrains make the song;

Thought’s profound and speech long.

We have the best era today;

Countless poets loudly 

and proudly sing their lay.

Chinese is chirped to you and me;

This world so endeared be;

Calligraphy seems live;

Muses with grace arrive.

One can well play his part,

A dream is from the heart,

All nations on the Silk Road 

their trek start.

My writing brush I wave.

Mountains, rivers add to my zest,

I draw a chapter blessed.
