Original text:
Blue sky, yellow leaves, autumn colors, cold smoke, green waves. The mountain reflects the setting sun and the sky meets the water, and the grass is ruthless, even outside the setting sun.
Dark homesickness, thoughts of chasing travel. Every night unless, sweet dreams make people unable to sleep. The bright moon tower is lonely, and the wine turns into sorrow and tears.
Translation:
Blue sky, white clouds and yellow leaves. Autumn scenery is reflected on the blue waves on the river, and the water waves are glowing with cold smoke and green. The distant mountains are bathed in sunset, and the sky is connected with rivers. The grass on the shore seems heartless, beyond the setting sun.
It is sad to miss my hometown silently, and it is difficult to get rid of lingering worries. Unless you have a good dream every night, you can get a moment of comfort. The bright moon shines on tall buildings, so don't lean on it alone. Pick up the wine to wash your sorrow, but it all turns into acacia tears.

This song "Su Mu Zhe" and "Song Ci" is titled "Nostalgia for the Past", and we can get a glimpse of the meaning of the ci. The main feature of this word is that it can express melancholy thoughts with gloomy and vigorous brushwork, full of sound and emotion, far-reaching artistic conception, which is really different from the general graceful school.
Tan Xian, a poet in A Qing, praised it as a masterpiece, and it was a truly incisive and fair evaluation of Wang Shifu's The West Chamber and A Farewell to the Pavilion. The first two sentences of this word are directly used, and it has become a tune and a swan song.
