Poetic:
The vast south of the Yangtze River is full of orioles singing and dancing, green trees and red flowers complement each other, and wine flags are flying everywhere in the villages near the water and in the city walls at the foot of the mountains. Many ancient temples left over from the Southern Dynasties are now shrouded in hazy mist.

Original poem:
Jiangnan Spring

There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and many towers are in the mist.
