Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty.
The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and feel the early autumn at night.
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.

After the new rain, the valley is empty and fresh, and the weather is particularly cool in early autumn and evening.
The bright moon reflects the quiet pine forest, and the clear spring water flows on the rocks.
The girl in the bamboo forest came back from washing with a smile, and the lotus leaves swayed in the canoe.
Although the beauty of spring has faded, autumn scenery in front of us is enough to make people linger.
