--Liu Guozong Spring Diary sixty-six

In the late night of spring, the beautiful moon had not yet set. Beside that beauty, many stars surrounded, just like children surrounding their mother.

Boundless firmament, tranquil night sky, beautiful moonlight, twinkling stars—oh, nature's gift, how refreshing and delightful.

At this moment, I also forgot the world and could not feel my own existence. I am indifferent to the world, just as the world is indifferent to me.

Am I a speck of dust in the mortal world?

Stars, your little eyes have no trace of evil, how pure. I gaze at you, overwhelmed with excitement. Seeing your purity, I think of kindness.

Because kindness is always together with purity.

If one says everything is predestined, does that include struggle and effort?

How I wish to turn stone into gold, surpass myself. Yet I can never understand why the results of struggle and effort always repay me with disappointment and sighs.

Am I really like those clouds beside the moon, coming lightly and leaving lightly, leaving no trace of beauty in the sky?

Stars, please tell me! Moon, please tell me!

The moon moves, flower shadows shift; with the moonlight's movement, with the stars' movement, I see the splendid purple and red of spring, also slowly moving toward the human world.

Spring, I have already smelled your fragrance.

Spring, I love your beauty, I also love your fragrance!
