Entry Text
車五山才調極高。東溟對人。輒誦其所作。華山北骨盤三角。漢水東心出五臺。無端歲月英雄過。有此江山宇宙來之句曰。天下奇才。栗谷先生。甞在江郊。五山適在座。栗谷呼韻。五山應口對曰。風健牙檣千尺直。月明漁笛數聲圓。栗谷擊節稱賞。金淸陰亦稱五山詩。高處。雖老杜無以過之。如餘寒氷結失江聲之句。今人何甞道得云
Ch’a Ch’ŏllo was extremely gifted. Speaking of Cha’s impromptu poem, 華山北骨盤三角漢水東心出五臺無端歲月英雄過有此江山宇宙來 To the north of Hwa Mountain,Three Peaks Mountain coils.To the east of the Han River,Five Platforms Mountain rises.Time passes endlessly.Heroes depart.These rivers and mountainsare from Heaven and Earth.Chŏng Tugyŏng remarked, “He is a unique talent (kijae) in the world.” Once when Yi I was in the suburb by the river, Ch’a happened to be there also. Yi chose a rhyme word and Ch’a immediately responded in voice. 風健牙檣千尺直月明漁笛數聲圓 In the strong wind, the ivory maststretches straight a thousand feet high.Under the bright moon, the fisherman’s fluteplays round melodious tunes. Kim Sanghŏn also said, “Even Du Fu cannot surpass Ch’a in poetic achievements. For example, how can a line like, 餘寒冰結失江聲 In the lingering cold, ice is formedand the river loses its voice.be spoken by a present-day person?”
