Yellow river, by Luo yin 黄河 罗隐

don't pour 'er jiao' into this river,
(It is said 'er jiao' could make the river clear)
information from the sky is difficult to understand,
(ancients know the sky will provide information)
going galaxy requires twist, water becomes muddy just out of 'Kun Lun,
(source of Yellow river water)
'Gao zu' (the first king) makes oath in simple clothes,
celestial does divination (this would also tell some information) and the raft is light (one man uses the raft to go sky)
after three thousand years who will be there?
why do you work hard to claim the sky peace!
(if the river works well, means it is peaceful time)

莫把阿膠向此傾,此中天意固難明。
解通銀漢應須曲,才出昆侖便不清。
高祖誓功衣帶小,仙人占鬥客槎輕。

三千年後知誰在?何必勞君報天平!
