Dongting East Jiangxi, the curtain is quiet and the sunset is late.

Third, translation.

The magnificent Yueyang Tower stands east of Dongting and west of the Yangtze River. Sunset and dusk, no night breeze. The standard on the pavilion remains the same, wandering in the dusk of lakes and mountains on the boundary between Wu and Shu. To avoid war, I traveled for three years and Wan Li. What's my mood today? Going upstairs to pay homage to the ancients, my temples are like frost. Looking at the ancient trees in the distant mountains, there is infinite sadness.
