Original text: To the east is the Jieshi to view the sea. Where is the water? The mountains and islands are standing tall. There are many trees and lush grass. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising. The journey of the sun and the moon is like going out of it. The stars are as brilliant as if they came out of it. Fortunately, even singing praises one's aspirations.
Translation: Head east and climb Jieshi Mountain to enjoy the wonders of the sea. The sea is turbulent, and mountains and islands are lined up in the sea, towering upright. Surrounded by lush trees and lush flowers and plants, the bleak wind came, the vegetation swayed, and huge waves were set off on the sea, rolling and roaring, as if they were about to engulf the universe.
The rise and fall of the sun and the moon seem to come from the breast of the sea; the brilliant stars in the Milky Way also seem to emerge from the embrace of the sea. Ah, I am so lucky and wonderful. Let us sing to our heart's content and express our feelings freely. Extended information
