Shower on shower passes o'er the hills,
Clear,clear water flows neath bridges in the rills.
A garden pillows its bower amid the weed.
Outdoors in liquid moonlight lies afloat
A painted boat.
Frost cleared away on rivershore,
By waterside snow lingering no more.
Afar stands the blue gate to which two mountains lead.
Looking back,I find cloud and water up and down.
Where is the lonely town?
山雨潇潇过，溪桥浏浏清。
小园幽榭枕苹汀。
门外月华如水、彩舟横。
苕岸霜花尽，江湖雪阵平。
两山遥指海门青。
回首水云何处、觅孤城。

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.
