Original poem:
Modern Waterfall: Ye Shengtao
I haven't seen a waterfall yet,
First I heard the sound of the waterfall,
Rushing to the shore like a waterfall,
Like a gust of wind blowing through a pine forest.
The mountain road suddenly turned,
Ah! Saw the whole body of the waterfall!
This scene can't be compared,
Castle Peak and thousands of feet are all wrapped in silver.
Standing at the foot of the waterfall and looking up,
Great, a pearl screen!
There is a gust of wind from time to time,
Blow it like smoke, fog and dust.
