Explanation:

Du Mu Mulan Temple

I am a man who bends my bow and fights in battle. I once met Huamei in my dream. I thought about returning the wine several times, and put it on the clouds to wish the concubine Ming.

Du Mu Jiyuan

The front mountain is very far away and the green clouds are together, and there is a sound of white snow in the clear night. I want to send my longing for the moon thousands of miles away. The light is shining and the rain is falling by the stream.

Du Mu enters Shangshan

Entering Shangshan in the early morning, there are hundreds of miles of clouds, and the sound of water under the Lanxi Bridge is heard. The old sound of running water is heard by old ears, but this time the sound of running water is unbearable.
