The Original Text and Translation of Nian Nujiao Crossing the Dongting Lake

Nian nu jiao Guo dong ting

On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is not a breath of wind on the grass in Dongting Lake. 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. (use? Same: same; Meet? A work: Emerald World)

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. Now, I am wearing cold hair and clothes, drifting quietly in this boundless pale sea. I don't know what night it is! (liver and lungs? A work: liver and gallbladder; Canglang? A work: Cang Ming; Exhausted A work: suck it up; Ling hai? Op.1: Ling Biao)

translate

Dongting Lake is connected with Caoqing Lake, which is vast and boundless. In this Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no wind. The calm and clear lake is like a mirror made of white jade, like a beautiful field paved with jade, with a width of 30 thousand hectares. Only my boat floats on the lake. 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 share this wonderful experience with you.

We should take into account that in the official life outside the ridge for a year or so, the moonlight shines on us, and all our hearts are as clear as ice and snow. And now I, wearing thin clothes, calmly boating in this vast expanse. Let me hold the clear water of Xijiang River, carefully pour it into the wine spoon made of 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!
