Original text:
Going far outside Jingmen, coming to travel from the Kingdom of Chu.
The mountains end with the plains, and the river flows into the wilderness.
Under the moon, there is a flying mirror, and the clouds form a sea tower.
I still feel sorry for the water in my hometown, and send my boat sailing thousands of miles away.
Translation:
Traveling far away by boat, passing through Jingmen and arriving at the hometown of Chu State. The green hills gradually disappear, and the plains stretch as far as the eye can see. The Yangtze River surges into the vast wilderness. The moon reflecting on the river is like a flying mirror tomorrow; the clouds turn into blue and form a mirage. The water of my hometown is reluctant to leave, and has sent me sailing all the way. Extended information
