The poem's literal translation:
The flowing water is heartless,
As it reaches the empty city, all my hairs have turned white,
A song is left behind, begrudging the fading sun.
It breaks one's heart.*
The East wind and Officer's willow** dance upon the sculpted walls.
The flowers of the thirty-six palaces*** are splattered with tears.
Where is the sound of spring that speaks their properity or downfall?
The swallows fly in pairs...
Spring of Wine, by Xin Qiji
*The literal translation is "tear one's intestines," but this phrase is the Chinese approximation of "break my heart. For another example of how Chinese body part idioms differ, saying someone has a lot of balls or guts in English is approximate to saying they have a huge gallbladder in China.
**A special type of willow that grows in China.
***Referring to the uncountable rooms in the Emperor's harem. As far as I can tell, the flowers can refer to both the maidens who have not gained the emepror's favor, as well as the flowers that they encounter in the imperial gardens.
I really like how both types of flowers are shown in this nicely colored picture. It really captures the sad lives that the unfavored consorts lived in the Imperial Palace, as well as the flavor of the poem.

看到這張圖會讓我想到去年想要拿到 Painter 證書的作業~~XD

Painter 的證書其實不難拿，
只要繳出還像個樣兒的畫作，
老師打個 PASS 就可以拿到啦！XD
我平常比較常用 Painter and Photoshop 作畫，
偶爾也會用 Illustrator and corelDRAW! 來畫~~^^

我的繪圖板是Wacom 最小塊的，
剛滿一週年...^皿^
在這之前雖然都用鼠繪，可是手會發抖得很厲害，
所以都會先用多邊形套索界定一個範圍來上色~~@@
尤其是頭髮....囧TZ

套锁??好想欣赏一下呢~呵呵
我没耐心拉~~~这画...哎...我不喜欢钩线的,就直接上色...经常图出来...所以我朋友老说我把一张好好的线稿给毁得一干不剩.....汗(现在还在说呢...就昨天..)我那个心流血啊.....

So I was wondering if you have ever thought about doing a manga? You're art work is stunning really.

I am impatient~and lazy....
so i think it isnt time to do a manga~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was just curious. I'm sorta kinda hoping to find someone who would be willing to do the art part of the manga while I do story... and well I love your style. Alas... if you don't even want to do a manga then me asking if you'd be willing to team up even is out of the question.
Anyway I need to note you those descriptions I keep forgetting. Keep up the fantastic art I always look forward to a new piece.

酒泉子（无题）
辛弃疾
流水无情，潮到空城头尽白，离歌一曲怨残阳。断人肠。
东风官柳舞雕墙。三十六宫花溅泪，春声何处说兴亡。燕双双。
