Visiting Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing
The vast expanse of Xuanwu Lake reflects the everlasting autumn.
Sometimes it is clear and turbid, but sometimes it is sad.
Jinling rose and fell frequently, and
the short-lived dynasty rose and fell rapidly.
The reflection of the sea reflects the present and the past,
The new city splendidly covers the old hills.
Look up at the clouds in the sky and watch the rolling clouds,
Look down at the rolling flow of the Yangtze River.
