Original poem:
Clear water and mountains reflect Chenopodium,
The sunset is still on the west side of the bridge.
I can't tell you how to scare a brook bird,
Fly deep into the clouds and cry.

Green water, crimson mountains, leaning on old crutches, sunset, on the west side of the bridge. The old lady hummed and inadvertently woke up the brook bird, which flew into the depths of the clouds and sang.

This painting poem depicts the evening scene by the stream. Twenty-eight words not only describe the still streams, bridges, peaks, sunsets and the old man on crutches, but also describe the bird's startled flight and the old man's humming sound, bringing the still and silent picture to life.
