The poem reads:
>
The Goddess of Luo is probably from Mangshan Mountain. Her figure is as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon. the glory shines on autumn flowers, luxuriant spring pines. Like the light clouds covering the moon, like the wind returning to the snow. His spirit is deep and quiet, and he is kind and benevolent. He told me that the god of Luoshen was called Bai Luoshen.

So I thought that this woman's beauty was unparalleled. So I took the zither and hung it high in the air. I ordered Zigui to caress the lonely sword in the courtyard forever. Woo! When the gods have been saved, they cannot be seen among thousands of people.
>
Therefore, I am sad that this woman has always been in the world and has encountered such difficulties. So he said to the woman,"You should be quiet and cultivate your moral character. You should be frugal and cultivate your moral character. If you are not indifferent to life, you will not be able to make your will clear. If you are not quiet, you will not be able to go far. Learning must be quiet, behavior must be quiet, industry must be quiet, this is because the mind is still, but there is no movement, no static is called right. If it is not quiet, it is impossible to go far; If it is not indifferent, it is impossible to make the mind clear. There is nothing better than this in learning, cultivating, practicing, and doing."

So I told him that the god of Bailuo was called Bai Suzhen. I thought that this woman's appearance was dignified, beautiful, graceful and graceful, like a fairy from the world. So I wrote a song to praise the beauty of this woman.

Translated:

I wrote this "Ode to the Luo God" to express the feelings deep in my heart because I miss Li Bai's bold and unconstrained feelings. The Fu described the beauty of the Goddess of Luoshen. Her figure was as graceful as a swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon, and her beauty was beyond compare, making people sigh.

So I thought that this woman was very beautiful and different from others. So I thought of the name of the Goddess of Luo God. Her name is Bai Luoshen.

Therefore, I thought and sighed that this woman often encountered many difficulties in the world. So I told her," You should keep your inner peace, cultivate your moral character, and realize your ideals with an indifferent attitude. Only in this way can you become a right person. Only by maintaining a calm heart can one reach a far distance, and only by maintaining an indifferent attitude can one be clear."

So I told Yu Yi Bai Luoshen's name. Her name is Bai Suzhen. Therefore, I thought that this woman's posture was dignified and graceful, like a fairy living in seclusion in the human world. So I thus commanded my pen to sing of this woman's beauty.
