The Original and Translation of The Source of Living Water

The source of living water and its translation are as follows:

Original text:

Lingfeng Mountain is the peak of the golden rooster. Its grass is bamboo, and its wood is loose for maple. Its birds are mostly bamboo chickens, as small as chickens, with literary talent and good songs. The temple is in the mountains, surrounded by mountains. Its former name was Taoshan, and it was the secluded place of Hongjing, a scholar of Huayang. Its southeast mountain is the peak cast by heaven, and the sword cast by Ou Yezi is also. Behind the temple, there is a thin cliff stone and a pavilion called Song Fengting, where the champion lives. There is spring water. ?

It begins with a stone stirrup, which trickles and warms Xia Han in winter; Immersed in a small canal, it will not dry up in winter and summer. It overflowed and flowed to the southwest, but it was lying in the sand, not more than a foot deep, but crystal clear. Looking down, the pine, bamboo and flowers on the cliff are at the bottom of the water. Therefore, Minister Qing Bai Ye Gong Heng came here to swim and sat by the water all day, which is called the source of living water. ?

Among them are stone crabs, as big as money. There is a small mackerel, which is black in color and lives in a cave. The rat often comes to eat it. Its grass is covered with water pine and calamus. There is a bird as big as a thrush, with a black and red mouth. It keeps singing on it, and its voice is as smooth as a bamboo chicken. There are two steps, descending from the bamboo, standing on the stone to take a bath and drink away.

When early spring comes, it is very cold, and all aquatic animals can't hide, so they even learn. There are four or five insects, all as big as little fingers and shaped like half a lotus seed. They swim on the water all day and bask on their backs. The color is amethyst. I don't know what an insect is. ?

Giving is not only the purity of love the water, but also its inexhaustible supply, which can make the group move and rely on it, and it is a gentleman's virtue. The master also said: "There was a drought last year, and water can irrigate dozens of acres." Elegant and approachable, it is suitable for Bai's deep love.

Translation:

Lingfeng Mountain has Golden Rooster Peak. Most of the grass on the top of the mountain is bamboo, and most of the trees are maple and pine. Most birds are bamboo chickens. Bamboo chicken is shaped like a chicken, but smaller than a chicken. They have patterns on their bodies and like to sing. There is a temple in the mountains, surrounded by mountains. The mountain in front of the temple is called Taoshan, which is the secluded place of Tao Hongjing, the official name of Huayang Scholar.

The mountain in the southeast of the temple is called Mount Everest, where Ou Yezi cast his sword. The back of the temple is called Bo Cliff Stone, and there is a pavilion on the stone called Song Fengting, where Master Kui (Zong Kui) lives. There is spring water. Spring water began to flow out from the cracks in the stone, flowing carefully, warm in winter and cool in summer; It flows into a small canal and does not dry up in winter and summer.

When the small canal is full, it flows southwest and sticks to the sand. The water depth is less than a foot, which can take a clear picture of people. Pines, bamboos and flowers on the thin cliff overlooking the spring are all underwater. Therefore, the minister (official name) Bai Chang came to play and sat by the water all day, and named this spring as a living water source. ?

The spring water produces stone crabs the size of copper coins. There is also a small mackerel, pure black in color, which lives in caves and is often eaten by water rats. Most of the grass in the water is water pine and calamus. Here is a bird, about the size of a silver carp, with a red beak. It often sings on the water. Its song is similar to that of a bamboo chicken, but it is smoother than that of a bamboo chicken.

There are two _ _, who often come out of the bamboo forest, take a bath on the stone, drink water and fly away singing. I came in early spring, when the weather was still very cold, and all kinds of aquarium animals could not be hidden, and only now have they all appeared.

There are four or five bugs, all as big as a little finger and shaped like half a lotus seed, circling on the water all day. The sun shines on their backs, and the color is like amethyst. I don't know what bugs they are. ?

I like the clear spring water here, and I like its continuous supply. It can let all kinds of animals attach to it, and it has the character of a gentleman. Master Wei Xiao added: "In the dry season, spring water can irrigate dozens of acres of fields." Then its benefits can benefit all things and should be deeply loved by Bai.
