On the Translation of Ancient Poems in Lushan Waterfall from Hukou

The translation of ancient poems about Hukou Lushan Waterfall is as follows:

The waterfall in the sun falls from the mountain, and the fog around it is half red and half purple. The waterfall rushing down rushed through layers of miscellaneous trees and fluttered in heavy clouds. The sun is like a rainbow. In this sunny weather, I seem to hear the sound of wind and rain. Lushan Mountain has a magnificent scenery and a blend of smoke and water.

Soon, he was transferred to Jizhou secretariat, and Tang Xuanzong allowed him to "change the governor of Hongzhou and Russia to Guizhou".
