Original text:
Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves, and fish play between them.
Fish hits the lotus leaf east, fish hits the lotus leaf west, fish hits the lotus leaf south, and fish hits the lotus leaf north.
Vernacular translation:
It's the season suitable for picking lotus in the south of the Yangtze River. Lotus leaves surfaced, squeezed, overlapped and fluttered with the wind. Beneath the thick lotus leaves, cheerful fish are constantly playing. I stayed here for a while, and then I suddenly swam there. I don't know whether it is in the east, west, south or north.
