People are idle, osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet and empty.
Yuèchúng shān niǎo，shímíng chún Jiàn zh ng .
When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream.
Translation:
People's activities are very few, only osmanthus flowers fall silently, and the valley in silent spring is silent and empty at night.
The bright moon rose and shone brightly, which alarmed the birds living in the mountains. From time to time, they flew high and sang in the spring stream.

Creation background
Wang Wei's "Bird Sound Stream" is based on the stable and unified prosperous Tang society when Kaiyuan (713-741) traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. This poem is the first of a series of poems entitled Five Topics of Huangfuyue Yunxi written by Wang Wei's good friend Huangfuyue, who lives in Yunxi Mountain Villa. It is the work of a poet who lives in Wuxi (Ruoshuixi) in the southeast of Shaoxing County.
Wang Wei likes to create a peaceful artistic conception in his landscape poems, and so does this poem. But the poem is about flowers falling, the moon rising and birds singing. These moving scenery not only make the poem look full of vitality, but also show the tranquility of the spring through movement.
On the contrary, dynamic scene can achieve static effect, because the two sides of contradiction are always interdependent. Under certain conditions, movement can occur or be noticed, which is based on silence. "Tonamiyama is more secluded" contains artistic dialectics.
