鸞旂掣曳拂空回，羽騎驂驔躡景來。
隱隱驪山云外聳，迢迢御帳日邊開。

Wind-rattled phoenix pennons
turn brushing through the sky,
Shaggy-hoofed steeds of the horse guard
come stamping beams of light(1).
Mount Li lies sunk in shadow,
jutting beyond the clouds,
While far in the distance the royal tent
opens beside the sun.(2)

1. This image plays on the name of one of the First Emperor Qin Shihuang's famous horses, “Light-Stamper.”
