Dark clouds can't hide the mountains.

Bai Yu jumped into the boat.

The wind comes and blows away,

Overlooking the lake, the water is like the sky.

Modern Translation of Ancient Poetry

Dark clouds rolled like ink, but the mountains were not covered, and the glistening raindrops danced around like pearls. A strong wind suddenly blew away the rain. After the storm, I looked at the sparkling water at the bottom of the lake.
