Original text:
Yonghe nine years, aged in Guichou, will gather in Lanting to repair things in late spring and early spring. A group of smart people never miss, but some of them are long and salty. There are mountains, lush forests and bamboo forests, as well as clear water and turbulent water, which set each other off.
I think that running water is second, although it is not as prosperous as silk and bamboo orchestras, it is enough to love.
Today is a sunny day, sunny and sunny. Looking up at the size of the universe and overlooking the richness of categories is enough to be extremely entertaining. I believe in cola.
Ladies, lifelong pitch. Or arm in arm and realize the words of a room; Let the waves go because of the entrustment. Although the fun is different, the calmness is different. When they are happy with what they encounter, they will gain something from themselves temporarily, they will be self-sufficient (the same as "fast"), and they will not know the arrival of old age. What he is tired of is that his feelings are advancing with the times and his feelings are sentimental.
I'm happy about it. It's a thing of the past between pitches, so I still have to be happy about it. The situation is short-lived, and it will end in the end. The ancients said, "Life and death are great." It hurts!
Every time we look at the reasons for the excitement of the ancients, if we unite, we will not be without sorrow, and we can't compare it to something in our chests. Knowing that a dead life is a false birthday and the destruction of Peng Qi is a mistake. Looking back today is still looking back on the past, sad husband! So when people line up, they are recorded. Although the world is different, pregnancy is a good thing. Later visitors will also be impressed by Sven.
Translation:
In the ninth year of Yonghe, that is, the year of guichou, at the beginning of March, (celebrities) gathered in Lanting, Shanyin County, Huiji, and went to the water to eliminate disasters and seek happiness. Many prestigious and talented people came, young and old.
There are high mountains, dense forests and high bamboos, clear water and rapids, and reflections all around. Introduce water into the circular canal (in the pavilion) and let the glass float on the water (for people to drink).
People sat in rows by the curved water. Although there is no grand occasion of orchestral music, it is enough to express their feelings buried in their hearts when drinking and composing poems.
On this day, it was sunny and breezy. Look up at the boundless sky, look down, there are so many things on the ground, so as to broaden your horizons and broaden your mind, and you can enjoy watching and listening beside it. It's really worth having fun!
People get along with each other and pitch all their lives. Some people like to talk about their interests and ambitions, and they like to talk face to face indoors (with friends). Some people pin their feelings on what they like and live indulgently without any constraints.
Although (people's) hobbies vary widely, whether they are quiet or mobile, when they are satisfied with what they meet, (or) temporarily get what they want and are happy and self-sufficient, they (unexpectedly) do not feel the arrival of aging.
If you are tired of what you love or get, your mood will change with the (current) environment, and your feelings will arise with the appearance of the environment. Before you feel happy, you will become a relic in an instant, but you still have to feel it constantly, and the length of (life) will end with creation (and setting) and ending (will). The ancients said: "Death is also, success is also, and great things are also!"
How can you not be sad! Whenever I see the origin of my predecessors' feelings, if I encounter (I think) the same article and I have never faced (their) groans once, I can't express it in words.
I know it is absurd to treat life and death equally, and it is wrong to treat long life and short life equally. Sadly, future generations look at today in the way before today.
So I relayed the people at that time and recorded their poems. Even though times have changed, people express their feelings in the same way. Later readers will also feel the poetry of this party.

Brief introduction of the author
Wang Xizhi (303-36 1, 32 1-379), a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, has few words. Originally from Langya (now Linyi, Shandong), I now live in Yinshan Huiji (Shaoxing, Zhejiang). The officers of the right army generals will review the internal history and be called "Wang Youjun". He came from a noble family in the Jin Dynasty. When Wang Xizhi was twelve years old, his father taught him the theory of brushwork. "If you use an outline, you will realize something."
When I was a child, I studied calligraphy under the famous female calligrapher Mrs. Wei. Later, he visited the famous mountains in You Jiang, where he learned from foreigners, learned from foreigners, and learned from Zhong You. Observing and learning "how to combine multiple methods to prepare a family" has reached the height of "more expensive than others, the best in ancient and modern times".
