Original text:

After the new rain in the empty mountains, autumn weather comes late.

The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow upward.

The bamboo noise returns to Huan Nu, and the lotus moves off the fishing boat.

Let the spring fragrance rest at will, and the kings and grandsons can stay. ?

Translation:

The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and the fall of night makes people feel that it is early autumn.

The bright moon shines clear light from the gaps in the pines, and clear spring water flows on the rocks.

The noisy sound in the bamboo forest is thought to be the return of the washer girl, and the swaying of the lotus leaves is thought to be wandering up and down the boat.

You might as well let the fragrance of spring fade away, but the kings and grandsons of the mountains in autumn can stay for a long time.
