Long Yu's Original Text and Translation

The dragon hisses and rests, and the cloud is solid and clever at the dragon. However, the dragon rides in the air and the ocean is poor in the universe. The sun and the moon are thin, the scenery is quiet, the electricity is felt, the gods are changing, the water is muddy and the clouds are strange!

Cloud, what the dragon can do is spirit. If the dragon is spirit, then what Feiyun can do is spirit. However, the dragon has a cloud, and the god has no spirit. If you lose the foundation, you cannot trust it! What a surprise! It depends on what it does. Yi says, "Clouds follow dragons." Since the dragon barks, the cloud barks.

Translation of works

The dragon exhales as a cloud. The cloud was not originally given by the dragon to its gods, but because the dragon exhales as a cloud and multiplies it, so the cloud is unpredictable and magical. It can fly in any space in the universe, even close to the sun and the moon, blocking their light. It can also drive away lightning and turn it into rain and snow, spreading all over the mountains and rivers. It not only nourishes all living things, but also forms thousands of rivers flowing through high mountains and valleys. How amazing these clouds are!

The reason why clouds are so magical is entirely given by dragons. Although clouds can't endow dragons with gods, if dragons don't have clouds, their magical power of lightning, clouds and rain and endless changes can't be exerted.

It seems that Long Yiyun. Without clouds, its mysterious magic can't be exerted. So, it's really strange that the cloud where the dragon displays his magical powers was actually created by himself! I ching said, "clouds follow dragons." If you want to say dragon, you have to say cloud.

Creation background

It is difficult to confirm the specific writing time of this article, which was roughly written before and after "Sending Poor Articles" and "Learning Solutions", from the 19th year of Zhenyuan (803) to the 8th year of Zhenyuan (8 13). During this decade, Han suffered many setbacks in his career and was extremely frustrated. First of all, I have been visiting the examiner for less than three months. Because I wrote that the people in Guanzhong were starving because of drought, I was exiled by the lucky minister Shi Li and moved to Yangshan in Lingnan for three years.

Then he was transferred to the capital, and soon he was attacked and slandered by people who competed with him for the position of Hanlin, and was forced to serve as the capital of the company. Han Yu worked hard for four years, but he was terrified by the powerful officials and eunuchs in the DPRK because he opposed eunuchs playing politics and resisting the torrent of Buddhism and Taoism. Finally, I was transferred to Beijing and worked as a small employee.

However, soon after arriving in Beijing, Han Yu spoke out bravely and defended Liu Jian, the magistrate of Huayin County, and was once again implicated and reduced to a doctor. Secondly, in social life, Han Yu is often misunderstood and criticized by his friends because of his unkind and outspoken attitude towards his friends because of his integrity and love for others. Therefore, Han Yu was greatly traumatized ideologically. This article was written by Han Yu in this mood.
