I need translation of text in a picture


Recommended Posts

Could do with a better resolution image to read the characters properly; you can make out mentions of eagles, dogs and hunting but not whole sentences in my case.

Still struggling I'm afraid, though did notice the word Khitan (契丹人) this time, and probably 遼 too, where they came from.

選屠白狗埋帳溝 牽鷹出獵起鳴騶 忽見御帽簪紅葉 方知今日是立秋

Chose to kill a white dog and buried it in the ditch next to the tent.

Leading the eagle, going out for hunting, the grandees set out

Suddenly seeing the hat of the grandees decorated with red leaves

Only then did I realise that today was the beginning of autumn.

古代風俗??百啚遼契丹人立秋屠狗

Hundred pictures of ancient customs: In Liao Dynasty, the Khitans kill dogs at the beginning of autumn.

The question marks above stand for the two characters I could barely recognise. The resolution of this picture still seems to be too low to recognise those two characters. But I think it would be a word modifying "picture", maybe an adjective I guess.

非常感谢你。

I thought the two characters i couldn't figure out is 竹枝. "竹枝" is the name a particular model of poems, which I think refer to the poem(選屠白狗埋帳溝 牽鷹出獵起鳴騶 忽見御帽簪紅葉 方知今日是立秋) given in this painting.
