China Traditional Sebi Mountain

Author: Cheng Hao [Song Dynasty]

Translation:

The clear stream flows through the green hills, hangs in the air and pours down. The night sky and flowing streams under the harmonious moonlight are as clear and transparent as autumn. This autumn leaves the world 30 miles away, white clouds in the air and red leaves in the mountains, leisurely and carefree. How intoxicating this quiet autumn is!

"Qingxi crosses Bishantou, and the empty water is fresh in autumn." The first two sentences use the reflection in the water to write the scenery. These two poems are actually borrowed from the artistic conception of two poems in Xie Lingyun's "Island in the River": "Clouds and the sun shine together, and the empty water is fresh." Because Qingxi can't flow through Bishantou, it can only flow through Bishantou's reflection in the water.

The clear stream flows slowly around the castle peak, and the blue sky is reflected in the water, so clear and pure, and the two blend in. If there is no bright moonlight between heaven and earth, the poet can't appreciate the clear water, green mountains and clear water in autumn night.

"Three miles away from the red dust, white clouds and red leaves are long." The last two sentences express the feelings on the spot. In the moonlight of Qiu Guang, the poet naturally feels free from vulgarity and carefree. "White clouds" and "red leaves" are not only symbolic illusions, but also the real scenery of mountains and forests that poets see under the autumn moon. Symbolically speaking, the free "white clouds" and the flowing "red leaves" are the true portrayal of the poet's leisurely and quiet mood.
