Year: Tang Dynasty
Author: Wang Bo
Guiyu is secluded, and the mountain pavilion is cool at night. The forest is cold and solemn.
The southern bamboo is dark, and the lotus turns over the shadow of the northern pool. Qingxing shows a unique aperture, and Duan Lin shows the first scene.
Translation of The Night Banquet at the Mountain Pavilion
Some affectionate and elegant people gathered in an exquisite mountain pavilion built of osmanthus wood. But the party in Shanting is on a long cold night. The gloomy, lush and endless mountain road is deserted and empty, and the entrance of the pavilion is neat and solemn. A silent bamboo forest makes the night in the South River darker, and the lotus flowers fiddle with the reflection of the North Pool with the wind. The banquet was very elegant, and I didn't come home all night until the morning sun shone on the treetops.
