Wen Yiduo of stagnant water

This is a backwater of despair,

The breeze doesn't move at all.

Why don't you throw more rubbish,

Throw out your leftovers.

Maybe copper will turn green into jade,

A few rusty peach petals on the tin can;

Let greasy weave a layer of Luo Qi,

Mold steamed some clouds for him.

Let the stagnant water ferment into a ditch of green wine,

Full of pearl foam;

Little beads' laughter turned into big beads,

I was bitten by a flower mosquito who stole wine again.

A desperate backwater ditch,

And a little image.

If frogs can't stand loneliness,

Dead water again. It is singing.

This is a backwater of despair,

This is definitely not the beauty,

Why don't we leave it to ugliness to cultivate,

See what kind of world it has created.
