咏鹅诗 Chanting for the swans

骆宾王(约640~684)七岁时所做
Luo Binwang (640~684) He wrote this poem at age of 7

鹅鹅 The swans are singing, oh, oh, oh
曲颈向天歌  The curved  necks  towards the sky
白毛浮绿水  White feathers are floating on the green water
红掌拨清波  Red palms paddled out the crystal clear ripples

words

鹅 swan
曲 curved
颈 neck
向 towards
天 sky
歌 sing
白 white
毛 feather
浮 float
绿 green
水 water
红 red
掌 palm
拨 paddle
清 clear
波 ripple

This poem is very simple, very vivid to describe the swan's appearance and dynamic through a child's eyes.
You read it not only a poem but also a colorful picture and 3D effect.
