A gust of autumn wind refreshes the maple trees,
After several bouts of rain, buds bloom,
Unable to emulate the proud frost branches,
Flowers wither, petals fall, leaves turn yellow.
A gust of autumn wind refreshes the maple trees,

Leaning on the railing, where is your shadow now,
The path ahead is vast and unknown,
Gazing into the distance, the future is bright,
Better in life do we have such hopes.
Climbing a peak by stairs is easy,
Reaching the pinnacle of life is hard,
To achieve the three immortalities,
Is a challenge for the old man.
As the sun sets, river mist thickens,
Returning birds nestle in the trees,
lovers in their boat,
Forget the hazy scenery.
蒼蒼竹林晚上,青葉蕭疏景象,弦月依樣明亮,塵世本是清涼。
In the verdant bamboo grove at night,
Sparse green leaves paint a scene,
Ink and wash painting of Jiangnan,
Green trees swaying, yet not forming a forest,
Buildings eight or nine, standing along the shore,
Fishing boats ferrying, revealing hearts longing to return
Emerald waters float colorful buildings,
Blue sky embedded with eaves,
Scenery crafted by human hands,
Lacking the splendor of nature.
樓塔層層藏故事,大地茫茫歷興衰,成敗得失無歧視,人生更重情和義.
Stories hidden in the layers of buildings,
The vast earth witnesses rise and fall,
Success and failure, gains and losses, without bias,
Life values love and righteousness above all.
Chilled, clear blue waters,
Moss clings to the rocks,
Faintly, swallows chirp.
With beauty, all desires arise,
What of the deeds of beasts?
Books and rites correct human relations.
Every second counts in measuring the years,
Time, indifferent, refuses to wait,
Technology and entertainment flow unhindered,
Fortunate are those who diligently pursue their craft.
山寺相聯存古韻,巔頂互通架拱橋,上下往來築棧道,謝絕人煙利修行.
Mountain temples linked, preserving ancient charm,
Bridges span the peaks,
Paths wind up and down,
Secluded from the world, perfect for cultivation.
Rain strikes spring flowers, painting the ground with colors,
Lonely alleys witness fallen petals,
Yellow leaves drift as winter arrives again,
Infinite vitality will return anew.
Palm trees idly sway in the sea breeze,
White sands gaze at the vast sky,
Infinite leisure breeds elegance,
Crafting a seamless garment of heaven.
Spring flowers unintentionally paint the wall,
Naturally formed, displaying elegance,
Colorful bricks cling in harmony,
Adorning the courtyard with grace.
Lake light and mountain hues, a twilight dream,
Vivid and colorful, the days of youth,
Life’s impermanence brings many hues,
Praise and ridicule, joy and sorrow, all are commonplace.
