Du Xunhe
Caochang village roadside, in front of the new green restaurant.
Listen to the flute at night and look for ghosts in deep alleys.
The wild bamboo leaves the shadow, and the solitary bell moves.
The rain is heavy at night, and the green leaves and safflower are thin.

Vegetation grows luxuriantly, and the new green of the roads around the village is very bright.
When night fell, I heard the shepherd playing the flute. Looking for a quiet soul in a deep alley.
The shadow of the wild bamboo forest is scattered on the ground, and the lonely bell keeps ringing alternately.
Late at night, I knew it was raining harder. The leaves are greener and the flowers are flowery, but they look thin.
