Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: I am driving a boat and playing leisurely on the Ruoye River. The sky is reflected in the water, and the water and the sky are the same. The sunset glow rises from the distant hill facing the sun, and the sun shines on the winding water. Cicadas sing loudly, but the Woods are particularly quiet; With the sound of birds singing, the mountains are quieter than usual. This place gave me the heart of seclusion, and I was sad because I was tired of my career for many years but didn't retire.
The empty mountain after the rain stands in the autumn evening. The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks. The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe. Spring spring might as well give it a rest, and the autumn sun can stay on the hills for a long time. -From the Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei's Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: The empty mountain is bathed in a new rain. At night, the air is cool, as if it were autumn. The moon is clear and clear, and the clear spring is flowing. The bamboo forest was noisy until the washerwoman came back, and the lotus leaves swayed like canoes. The wheat straw in spring might as well let it rest, and the prince and grandson in the mountains can stay in autumn.
There seems to be no one on the empty mountain, but I think I heard a voice. The shadow of the sunset shone into the depths of the forest, and the scenery on the moss was pleasant. -From the Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei's Chai Lu
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: people can't be seen in the valley, only voices can be heard. The shadow of the setting sun shines into the deep forest and on the moss, and the scenery is pleasant.
4. Living in seclusion with few neighbors, the grass trails into the wilderness. Birds are freely perched in the trees by the pool, and monks are knocking at the door. Walking across this bridge, you can see the charming scenery of Ye Yuan, and the feet of clouds seem to be moving on the floating rocks. I will leave here for a while, but I will come back and retire with my friends on the appointed date. -From the Tang Dynasty: Jia Dao's "Li Ning's Seclusion"
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: Living leisurely here, few neighbors come, and the overgrown path leads to a deserted small garden. Birds perch freely in the trees by the pool, and monks knock on the door in the bright moonlight. Crossing the bridge to see the beautiful scenery of Yuan Ye, the feet of clouds are fluttering and the rocks are moving. I will leave here temporarily, but I will come back to live in seclusion with my friends on the appointed date.
I leaned alone in the dense bamboo, playing the pipa and humming a song. It's too light for anyone to hear, except my partner, Mingyue. -From the Tang Dynasty: Wangwei Bamboo House
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: a person sits in a quiet bamboo forest, sometimes playing the piano and sometimes whistling. Who knows I'm here in the jungle? Only a bright moon accompanied me quietly.
