1. "Spring of the Han Dynasty·Reminiscences of the Ancient Penglai Pavilion in Kuaiji" by Xin Qiji of the Song Dynasty
Qin looked at the top of the mountain and saw chaotic clouds and heavy rain, which turned upside down the rivers and lakes. I don’t know that clouds are rain, and rain is clouds? Thousands of miles in the sky were destroyed by the west wind in just a moment. Looking back, I listen to the sound of the moon and the sky, and the roar of all the orifices in the world.
Translation: Look at the chaotic clouds flying across Qinwang Mountain, and the heavy rain pouring down, like rivers and lakes pouring down. I don’t know whether the clouds turned into rain or the rain turned into clouds? In the long sky, the west wind blows strongly, and the dark clouds suddenly change and disappear. Look back and listen to the sound of the moon and stars in the night, the cries of thousands of caves in the world are like landslides and thunder!

Step deep and quiet. The clouds are yellow and the sky is light, but the snow has not completely stopped. Jianqu has cold sand and lush tobacco trees, and the views have lasted for eternity.
Translation: Stepping into the deep and winding path, the clouds are yellow, the sky is pale, and the chill of the remaining snow is still lingering. A clear mirror lake reflects the shallow and cold water, the orchid pavilion with dilapidated walls, lush forests and tall bamboos with decaying grass, all enveloped in the softness of the light smoke - looking up and down, the eternity has passed.
3. "Remembering the Past: Climbing Penglai Pavilion" by Zhang Yan, Song Dynasty
Ask where Penglai is, the wind and moon are still there, and the river is clear thousands of miles away. Don't talk about the things of gods and immortals. Even if there are gods and immortals, they are just idle people.
Translation: I asked where the Penglai Fairy Mountain is. In front of me, the wind and moon are still there, people and people have changed, and the sky is vast and the guest is alone. Don't talk about gods. Gods do not exist. Only by giving up the troubles of the world can you be a real god.
4. "Han Gong Chun·Ciyun Jiaxuan Penglai Pavilion" by Jiang Kui in the Song Dynasty
The building opposite Qinshan is green, and I am afraid that the King of Yue's old fortress is now woodcutting Su. Now Yilan smiles, but it is not a joke. ?
Translation: The Qinwang Mountain opposite Penglai Pavilion is green, but the Yue King’s old base at the foot of the mountain is covered with grass, and woodcutters are currently visiting it.

The Big Dipper hangs beside the city, and Nanshan leans in front of the palace. The clouds mark the golden towers, and the jade hall hangs above the trees.
Translation: The Big Dipper hangs beside Chang'an City, and Zhongnan Mountain seems to be leaning in front of the Three Penglai Palaces. Gorgeous palaces on the mountains tower into the clouds, and exquisite pavilions hang high in the treetops.
