From Du Fu's quatrains in Tang Dynasty
"Two orioles sing green willows, and egrets cover the sky."
My window framed the snow-covered western hills. My door often says "goodbye" to ships sailing eastward.
Translation:
Two orioles sang among the green willows, and a line of egrets went straight into the blue sky.
Sitting by the window, you can see the Millennium snow in Xiling, and ships from Dongwu, thousands of miles away, are parked in front of the door.
Precautions:
Xiling: Xiling Snow Mountain.
Autumn snow: refers to the snow that does not melt for thousands of years in Xiling Snow Mountain.
Park: Park.
Soochow: The territory of ancient Wu, in Jiangsu Province.
Wan Li Ship: A ship not far from Wan Li.
