Nian nu jiao Guo dong ting

[Song] Zhang Xiaoxiang

Dongting grass, near the Mid-Autumn Festival, is even less charming. Jade Sword Qiongtian covers 30,000 hectares and gives me a boat. The 30,000-tilting lake carries me a boat, a boat. The bright moon and the bright galaxy reflect their posture in this vast jade scene, and the water surface is bright and clear.

It should be that I miss Linghai for many years, alone, and my liver and lungs are all ice and snow. Thanks to this round of ancient bright moon, the soul is still as transparent as ice and snow between the mountains and seas for many years. Do your best to suck the Xijiang River, pour the Beidou carefully, and make Vientiane a guest. I wonder what night it will be.

Dongting Lake is connected with Caoqing Lake. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there is no trace of the wind. Is it the world of jade or Joan's gardening? 30,000 mirror-like lakes carry my boat. The bright moon and the brilliant Milky Way reflect their own beauty in this vast jade mirror. The water belongs to Ming Che. I feel the emptiness of everything, but I don't know how to tell it and how to share it with you.

I am grateful for this lonely moon. I have been wandering between mountains and seas for many years, and my mind is still as transparent as ice and snow. At this moment, I am wearing a cold beard and clothes, calmly boating in this pale Wang Yang. Let me hold the clear water of the Xijiang River, carefully pour it into the wine spoon made by the Big Dipper, and invite the whole world to be my guests. I beat the side of the boat to my heart's content and sang aloud alone. How can I remember what year this year is!
