Original text of the poem
Wang Wei
Taiyi is close to the capital of heaven, with mountains and seas (yú).
The white clouds look back and merge, and the green mist (ǎi) comes in to see nothing.
The peaks in the field change, and the clouds and clearings are different.
If you want to stay somewhere, ask the woodcutter across the water.
Poetry Translation
Chinese Translation
The towering Taiyi Mountain is close to Chang'an City, and the mountains wind together all the way to the seaside.
The white clouds merge into one piece when looking back, and the green mist disappears into the mountains in confusion.
The main central peak separates Zhongnan from east to west, and the valleys between the mountains are very different and changeable.
I want to find a house to stay in the mountains. Is it convenient to ask the woodcutter across the water?
