Original text of "Moon Song of Mount Emei":
The half-moon of Mount Emei in autumn casts its shadow into the water of Pingqiang River.
The clear stream flows towards the Three Gorges at night, and I miss you and go down to Yuzhou without seeing you.
Translation: In front of the tall Mount Emei, a half-round autumn moon hangs. The flowing Pingqiang River reflects the bright moon shadow. Set off by boat at night, leaving Qingxi and heading straight to the Three Gorges. I miss you but it’s hard to see you, so I reluctantly go to Yuzhou.
