Poem: "Approaching the Exams, To Zhang Ji"


Illustration by Shaoyang No. 1 Middle School

"Approaching the Exams, To Zhang Ji"
试上张水部

In the bridal suite last night stood a red candle,
Awaiting dawn in the hall where she'll bow for the in-laws. 
All made up I whisper to your worship,
Do my mascara'd brows count for fashion?

洞房昨夜停红烛,待晓堂前拜舅姑。
妆罢低声问夫婿,画眉深浅入时无?
