A Mountain Pavilion on a Summer Day

Gao Pian 821-887 The shade from trees is dense and summer days are long An upside-down pavilion is mirrored in the pond Crystal curtains shimmer in the faintest wind A trellis of roses fills the courtyard with perfume

Shān Tíng Xiàrì

Gāo Pián 821-887 Lǜ shù yīn nóng xiàrì cháng， Lóu tái dàoyǐng rù chítáng. Shuǐjīng lián dòng wēi fēng qǐ， Mǎn jià qiángwēi yī yuàn xiāng.
