Looking around the flashy scenes of hills linked to water,
Leaning on rail I feel lotus fragrance in the ten-li area;
None bothers me under a shining moon and the fresh breeze,
Together I do enjoy more cool waves coming from the south.
四顾山光接水光，凭栏十里芰荷香。
清风明月无人管，并作南来一味凉。

Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
