1. Original text
Sitting Alone on Jingting Mountain
All the birds are flying high, Gu Yun is alone.
I never get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain.
2. Notes
1. Jingting Mountain: in the north of Xuancheng, Anhui today. "Yuanhe County Chronicles" records: "It is ten miles north of Xuancheng County. There are Wansong Pavilion and Tiger Peeping Spring on the mountain." "Jiangnan Tongzhi" Volume 16 Ningguofu: "Jingting Mountain is ten miles north of Fucheng County. The mansion annals say : It is known as Zhaoting in ancient times, facing Wan and Ju Rivers in the east, overlooking the city gate in the south, and seeing the wind and sails of Yanshi City. It is very picturesque."
2. Guyun: Tao Yuanming's "Poetry for the Poor" contains " The sentence "The lonely cloud has no one to rely on". Zhu Jian's note: "When I sit alone, the birds fly and the clouds disperse, and there are those who are ruthless and not close to each other. There is only the mountain of Jingting, and you can look at each other without getting tired of each other." Go alone to leisure: go alone, go alone. Leisure, describes the clouds floating here and there, leisurely and at ease. Lonely clouds drifted here and there.
3. Two things: referring to the poet and Jingting Mountain. Disgusted, satisfied.
3. Vernacular Translation
The birds are flying high without a trace, and the lone cloud is free and leisurely. You look at me, I look at you, we don’t hate each other, it’s just me and the Jingting Mountain in front of me.
