Smell the smoke comes from "Shen Zhengshi Xuanye Pavilion" - Gao Qi, Ming Dynasty.
?1. Original text
In the Qing Dynasty, he was still in the wild, lying alone to see his love. Move the boat and hear the smoke and sing, hook up the curtain to watch the rain and plowing. There are two storks under the clear river, and a cow crowed in the evening under the trees. Looking back, I remember that the chariots did not enter the city.
2. Translation
Still in the countryside in the early morning, lying alone and feeling noble feelings. We move the boat and hear the singing in the smoke, and we open the curtains to watch the farming in the rain. Two white storks land on a clear day by the river, and a cow crows at dusk under a tree. Looking back, we only miss each other, but diesel cars cannot enter the city.
