Wei Shilang's Mountain Residence

Author: Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty

Fortunately, the noble gentleman paid attention to it, so he accompanied Chen to leave.

Idle flowers fill the rocky valley, and waterfalls reflect fir trees and pine trees.

The singing bird suddenly returns to the stream, and hugs the peak when returning to the clouds.

A good tour is full of hairpins and ribbons, and there are many Kui dragons left behind.

The Qingmen Road is in vain, and the bells of Changle are heard.

Going to pay homage in the early morning, how can the carriages and horses be so calm?
