The original text and translation of Qingshan Ode are as follows:
Original text:
I love Qingshan Qingshan, thousands of feet are like splashing lakes. What's wrong with my husband's eyes? I don’t know that the green mountains are always face to face, and the green mountains are neither high nor low. Green hills cannot help travelers return. Since the top of the Qingwu Peak, I have seen the green mountains and the falling light. The green mountains forget the host and host to the guests, and the guests are silent to the green mountains.
The noisy waterfall is mixed with pine waves, startling the iron ox and the stone tiger. The Taoist does not care whether he sleeps with his legs stretched out or not, but the green mountains are crowned with the tips of his brows. The body of all things is revealed alone, and Sakyamuni is drunk in front of the spring breeze. I wonder how long it has been since the mountains became green? Why did the ancients buy so much gold? Gold changes into dust every day, but green mountains remain unchanged. I would like to send a message to you who live in the world, don’t just paint colorful colors into the void.
Translation:
I love the green mountains and green mountains, thousands of feet are like splashing sediment. Why should a man cover his eyes? I don’t know that green mountains are often seen. Green mountains are neither high nor low. Castle Peak does not prohibit pedestrians from returning. From the top of Fuwu Qingshan Mountain, I saw the green mountains and the falling light several times. Qingshan replied that the guest had forgotten the host, and the guest replied that Qingshan was speechless.
The waterfall in the noisy sky is mixed with the pine waves. Look at the place where the iron bull rides on the stone. The Taoist does not sleep with his legs stretched out, but the green mountain topples Dong Zhuo's brows. The body of all things is not revealed, but Shakyamuni is drunk in front of the spring breeze. Someone asked how many years Shan Qing has been here? Why did people in ancient times buy gold? The gold has turned into dust, but only the green mountains have not changed. I would like to send a message to the mountain man living all over the world, don’t just paint colorful colors into the void.

He, his son Zhao Yong, and his grandson Zhao Lin all created the "Picture of Men and Horses", which is called "Picture of Men and Horses in Three Generations" and has become a good story.
2. Calligraphy
Zhao Mengfu has an important role that cannot be ignored and has far-reaching influence in the history of Chinese calligraphy art. His contribution to calligraphy lies not only in his calligraphy works but also in his calligraphy theory. He has many profound insights into calligraphy.
He believes: "There are two things in learning calligraphy, one is the brushwork, and the other is the shape of the characters. The brushwork is not perfect, although it is good, but it is still evil; the shape of the characters is not wonderful, even if you are familiar with it, it is still fresh. Only when you can understand this can you learn calligraphy. "It's also a language book."
3. Literature
Zhao Mengfu's poems and articles are so clear and profound that they often make people feel like they are out of this world. Among the poets of the Zhiyuan period, Zhao Mengfu, Dai Biaoyuan and others worked hard to eliminate the humble habits of the Southern Song Dynasty.
