英訳
Wine brewed with pine buds, turmeric-flavored wine.
Immortals at a spring banquet, cups made of jade.
Together we sing "The Southern Hills Never Shall Collapse,"
The reed pipes harmonizing with the phoenix's unending cries.
Line
one:" Wine brewed with pine buds" 松花醸酒 is probably shōkashu 松花酒,
a medicinal wine flavored with pollen-laden flowering cone buds of the tree and favored by Taoists.
The small spring-flowering conelets (strobili) were auspicious owing to their production of prolific
numbers of seeds, which symbolized progeny. The phrase 鬱金香, Jp. ukkonkō is a reference to
a turmeric-producing plant Curcuma longa, known also as kizomegusa 黄染め草, but it also
became a designation for the ceremonial wine flavored with turmeric, which we take to be its meaning here.
Native to India but known in Japan since around 800, curcuma is a leafy perennial in the lily
family similar to myōga, Japanese ginger. Yellow turmeric is collected from its fleshly roots.
Although not botanically related to the saffron-producing Crocus sativus, ukkonkō is sometimes
identified with Chinese saffron.
Line three: As in SBK 28, above, the "Southern Hills" is an allusion to Ode 166 in
Shih ching. The phrase in question is found in stanza 6, lines 3 - 4, which literally read: "Like the
southern hills,/ never falling, never collapsing .... (emphasis added)" 如南山之壽、不騫不崩。
Line four: An alternate rendition of this grammatically difficult line might be, "[Our
voices] harmonizing with the reed pipes, [like] the phoenix's unending cries."
The shō (reed pipes) is a traditional Japanese musical instrument resembling panpipes. The ancient
Chinese phoenix, feng-huang 鳳凰, is a bird in Chinese mythology seen as an omen signaling that the
ruling king was enlightened and just.
