Original text:
Japanese friend Chao Heng Heren said goodbye to Chang 'an and returned to Penglai Islands in the east.
Like a bright moon, the sea does not return, and the mood of missing you is like a faint cloud hanging over Yuntai Mountain.
Japanese friends bid farewell to Chang 'an Imperial Capital and returned to their hometown. Sail east and float across the Penglai square pot. Friends who are gone forever are like the bright moon sinking into the blue sea, and the white clouds in the sky also cover the green hills with sadness.
