Qinggu sleepwalks in Bala Tianshui Caoan Yi Shi;
The blood near Qingshui pond is phosphorus, and the horse outside Zhengyangmen is dust. Just think that Shuiyue has no new hatred and is happy that an old friend has come to Yunshan.
Fine wax is not today, and leisure is like rebirth. Self-injury, white hair, wandering, a petal of incense, a towel of tears.
Translation:
"The blood by the clear water pool is phosphorus, and the horse outside Zhengyangmen is dust". The blood sample at the edge of Qingshui pond is shiny with red phosphorus, and the horses outside Zhengyangmen gallop past, raising a cloud of dust. The "Zhengyangmen" here refers to one of the thirteen inner doors of Nanjing Ming City Wall. Today, it is called "Guanghua Gate", which is the main entrance to the capital of Nanjing and located at the southernmost tip of Yudao Street.
"Only Shuiyue has no new enmity, and an old friend has come to Xiyunshan." Bright as water, the moon shows bright moonlight at night. There should be no new hatred. Thankfully, all my old friends who have retired from the mountains have come to meet me.
"Fine wax is not today, and leisure is like rebirth." I think even if the whole twelfth month is sunny, it can't compare with today's weather. Playing leisurely with friends is like regaining liberation and rebirth.
"Self-injured white hair is falling, and a petal is full of tears." It's just that I'm suddenly sad. I'm still wandering in outer space at such a big age. I have no home to go back to, and my family and country can't rely on it. I lit a wick to pray in the Buddhist temple of Shuicao Temple (Nanjing Shuicao Temple, built in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty), and the sad tears had soaked the towel after the incense was extinguished.

I like chivalry and bravery in my life, and I like to make friends with celebrities from all over the world, which has helped many people. At the same time, it is also very moral and has a lot of backbone. After the Qing dynasty replaced the Ming dynasty, he refused to come out as an official. He makes a living by writing calligraphy and selling words. His life is very poor, and he has no children all his life.
