The translation of the poem "Spring Mountain Evening Journey" is as follows:
The peach blossoms at the entrance of the cave are fresh and moist with rain; the willows at the head of the stream are swayed by the wind. Various birds are reflected in the setting sun, flying up and down to return to their nests; different characters follow the flowing water, moving east or west at will.
Original poem:
The peach blossoms at the entrance of the cave carry the rain, and the willows at the head of the stream carry the wind.
Birds watch the setting sun rise and fall, and people follow the flowing water from west to east.

Appreciation of the Poetry of "Evening Journey to Spring Mountain" Huang Wenhuan of the Qing Dynasty believed in "Illustrated Theory of the Four Spectrums of Tone" that six-character quatrains are easily affected by the restriction of the number of words. Written in the style of "coupled sentences and couplets", "Spring Mountain Evening Journey" is such a poem. The first two lines of antithesis describe the scenery seen during the evening trip to Spring Mountain, and the expressions of the plants in Spring Mountain, which are picturesque.
The last two sentences are still in contrast, and they also describe the scenery seen during the evening trip to the Spring Mountains, changing the words from plants to animals and people. The whole poem is composed of two couplets. The poet focuses on handling the dialectical relationship between the strictness of the external format and the diversity of internal changes. He uses natural and smooth language without any pretense to eliminate the shortcomings of "tonal tone" and makes the poem more complete. The poem has become one of the six-character quatrains that is both good at describing scenery and expressing emotions.
