There are so many pavilions on the solitary island, with green pines facing each other. The dragon rises in the pond, and the wind and rain meet in the sky. ——From Fan Zuyu's "Ten Questions on Visiting Master Li's Garden? Songdao" by Fan Zuyu of the Song Dynasty
Red clouds cover the island, and the hope is bright. If the weak water cannot carry the boat, how can we reach Penglai? ——From "Inscribed on Hongyun Island" by Yu Liangneng of the Song Dynasty
In the cold autumn of Independence, the Xiangjiang River goes north to the head of Orange Island. See the mountains all red, the forests all dyed; the rivers full of green, with hundreds of boats vying for the current. Eagles strike in the sky, fish fly in the shallows, and all kinds of frost compete for freedom in the sky. With a melancholy outline, I asked the vast land, who is responsible for the ups and downs? ——From Mao Zedong's "Qinyuanchun Changsha"
But I recall going to the rooftop and moving to the island sky. Watching the cold weather, the trees are green and the snow is shallow, leading to stone bridges. ——From Ma Dai's "Send Off to Taoist Friends in Tiantai Mountain" of the Tang Dynasty
It is as light as falling gold powder from pine flowers, and as thick as moss and brocade with green color. The mountains in the distance are covered with verdant green and the islands are covered with green, and the remaining clouds and red leaves reflect the grass in the river. Gathering flowers and dew, you have achieved great success in a few years. I will not violate the gift given to me by my old friend, so that the mountains and rivers will be filled with clear light.
——From Li Bai's "Wuyun Qiu Song as a Reward for Yin Ming Zuo Jian" from the Tang Dynasty
