Original text of Linhu Pavilion:
A light boat welcomes guests as they come up the lake. When the pavilion is full of wine, hibiscus blooms on all sides. (One Work: Pair of Bottles of Wine) Translated by Linhu Pavilion
Wang Wei greeted the distinguished guests in a small boat, and the boat sailed leisurely on the lake. The guests and hosts sat around the pavilion facing the lake and drank happily, surrounded by blooming lotus flowers. Appreciation of the Linhu Pavilion
The poet Wang Wei was waiting for and welcoming distinguished guests in the pavilion, and his boat was sailing leisurely on the lake. The guests and hosts sat around the pavilion facing the lake and drank happily, with a lotus in full bloom outside the window. What a wonderful realm of life this is! The poem skillfully integrates beautiful scenery, flowers, mellow wine and leisurely feelings, conveying deep meaning in nature and interest in simplicity. The beautiful and elegant artistic conception is intoxicating.
