1. All the birds are flying high, and the lonely cloud is alone. I never get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain. ——"Sitting Alone on Jingting Mountain" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
Translation: Birds fly high without a trace, and lonely clouds go alone and leisurely. You look at me, I look at you, we don’t hate each other, it’s just me and the Jingting Mountain in front of me.
2. Stratus clouds grow in the chest, and returning birds enter the canthus. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance. ——"Wang Yue" by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty
Translation: Layers of white clouds wash away the ravines in the chest; the returning birds fly into the eye sockets of admiring the scenery. You must climb to the top of Mount Tai to overlook the mountains and feel full of pride.
3. As the sun fades over the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to the next level. ——Wang Zhihuan of the Tang Dynasty, "Climbing the Stork Tower"
Translation: The setting sun slowly sinks against the Western Mountains, and the surging Yellow River rushes towards the East China Sea. If you want to see enough of the thousands of miles of scenery, you have to climb to a higher tower.
4. Far up the Hanshan Mountain, the stone path is slanted, and there are people living in the white clouds. Stop and sit in the maple forest at night, the leaves are as red as the flowers in February due to frost. ——"Mountain Travel" Du Mu Tang Dynasty?
Translation: The rocky path winds and slants far up the mountain top, and there are a few families faintly visible where the white clouds grow. I stopped the carriage just because I loved the evening view of the maple forest. The frost-stained maple leaves were better than the bright February flowers.
5. Tianmen interrupts the opening of Chujiang River, and the clear water flows eastward to this point. The green mountains on both sides of the strait stand out from each other, and a solitary sail comes from the sun. ——"Looking at Tianmen Mountain" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty
Translation: The Yangtze River is like a giant ax splitting open the majestic peak of Tianmen, and the green water flows eastward without turning around. The beautiful scenery of the green mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is indistinguishable, and you can see a solitary boat coming from the horizon.
6. The light of the lake and the moon are harmonious, and there are no goggles on the surface of the pool that have not been polished. Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting in the distance, there is a green snail in the silver plate. ——"Looking at the Dongting" Liu Yuxi, Tang Dynasty
Translation: The wind is calm and the waves are calm, the moonlight and the color of the water blend together, and the lake surface is like a bronze mirror that does not need to be polished, smooth and bright. Looking at Dongting from a distance, Dongting Mountain with green mountains, green water and lush forests stands in the white light of Dongting Lake, like a green snail in a silver plate.
