There is a stream [1] more than 0/00 steps west of Daozhou. It flows south for dozens of steps and flows into Yingxi (2). On both sides of the stream, there are all strange stones, obliquely embedded and hovering, with strange gestures that can't be described by words. When the clear stream hits the rocks, it stirs up flying waves and eddies. There are also beautiful trees and exotic bamboos (4) on the shore, and the shadows are set against each other (5). If this stream is in the open Shan Ye, it is very suitable for hermits to visit and live (6); If it is in a crowded place (7), it can also be a scenic spot for urban residents to visit, and it can also be a garden for quiet people (8). But since Daozhou became governor (9), no one has come to appreciate it and love it. I wander by the stream and feel sorry for it (10)! So dredging, clearing the messy vegetation, building pavilions, planting pine trees and osmanthus trees, and laying citronella (1 1) for plant protection and slope protection to enhance its beautiful scenery. Because the stream is on the right side of the city (that is, in the west), it is named "Right Stream" (12). Now, carve these words on the stone for later generations to know (13).
