On the Original Text and Translation of Nanjing Climbing to the Top and Looking Far.

The original text and translation of Nanjing on the Phoenix Terrace are as follows:

It turns out that the phoenix that once played here, so that this place is named after them, has now abandoned it by this desolate river. Martial arts flowers were laid on deserted paths, and the number of relatives and friends in the Jin Dynasty has become a famine. The mountains are shrouded in clouds, such as blue sky, and the river is divided into two. There is always a traitor in power, like covering the sky, and Chang' an is depressed when he can't see it.

There used to be a phoenix swimming on the Phoenix platform, but only when Phoenix went to Taiwan Province, the river was still flowing eastward. The flowers and plants in the palace of Wu are buried in deserted paths, and many royal families in the Jin Dynasty have become abandoned tombs and ancient hills. The fog of the three mountains is looming, like falling into the sky, and the river is divided into two by Bailuzhou. There are always treacherous court officials in power, but Chang 'an can't see the depression in his heart.

"Going to Nanjing to Mount the Phoenix Terrace" is a nostalgic lyric poem written by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he boarded the Phoenix Terrace in Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). The whole poem is composed of eight sentences and fifty-six words, singing and sighing with what you saw and felt when you boarded the Phoenix Platform. It combines eternal historical changes with long-lost legends and stories to express deep historical feelings and sober realistic thinking. This poem has lofty charm and long style, which embodies the artistic characteristics of Li Bai's poems.
