One
Climbing Xianglu Peak to the west, Nanjian waterfall water.
The stream flows three hundred feet and gushes for dozens of miles.
The water is like flying lightning, and it is like a white rainbow rising.
The river was first startled and Han Han fell, half scattered in the sky.
Look up and watch the situation change, it is a magnificent feat of good fortune.
The sea breeze blows constantly, and the moonlight on the river is still empty.
Random shooting in the air washes the blue walls left and right.
The flying beads scatter the light clouds, and the foam boils on the dome stones.
I enjoy the famous mountains and feel at ease about them.
No matter how you rinse your face, you still have to wash your face.
As long as I stay in harmony, I will always wish to die in this world.
Two
The incense burner produces purple smoke in the sunshine,
Looking at the waterfall in front of the river in the distance.
The flying current flows down three thousand feet,
It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky.
