Original text:

Dai Ma Yishuo blows, The frightened birds are worried about the past. Kuang is grateful for his family virtues and has a deep sense of nostalgia.

Accumulate good deeds and enjoy success. The world is governed by hanging clothes, and the carriage and writing are the same.

Baishui patrols the former traces, and Danling is lucky to be in the old palace. A feast is held to rejoice the old, and a high banquet is held to gather the new.

Standing in the countryside to caress the fields, I returned to visit the shepherd boy. The auspicious air lingers in Danque, and the auspicious smoke disperses in the blue sky.

The isolated island is white with frost, and the distant mountains are red with the sun. Yu Yan happily built the building and chanted the south wind. Translation

Instead of relying on the fresh air, the birds are frightened and worried about the jungle. What's more, I feel grateful for this blessing and feel nostalgic.

Zheng Yuqing and Liu Changwu were very successful. Chuiyi governs the world, and the chariots and carriages are written in the same way.

The traces before the Baishui patrol, Danling to the old palace. Let’s enjoy old age with wine and feast, and enjoy the feast in Xinfeng.

Stay there to appease the farmers, return to the car and ask the shepherd boy. The auspicious air hovers around Danque, and the auspicious smoke disperses in the sky.

The isolated islands are white with frost, and the sky in the distant mountains is red. I am happy to build a building here and chant the south wind for now. Appreciation
