"Picking Mulberries: The West Lake is Beautiful in a Short Boat" is a poem written by Ouyang Xiu, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Full text: A short boat trip to the West Lake is beautiful, with meandering green water, long embankments of fragrant grass, and faint music and songs everywhere. ?The windless water surface is smooth with glass. Unconsciously, the boat moves and ripples slightly, causing sandbirds to fly across the shore.
Translation: The scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, and it is so relaxing to take a short paddle in a light boat. The turquoise lake stretches continuously, and the flowers and plants on the long embankment emit fragrance. There was faint music singing, as if following the boats floating on the lake. The windless water surface was as smooth as glass. I didn't feel that the boat was moving forward, and only saw slight waves rippling beside the boat. Look, the waterfowl that were startled by the boat are flying over the lake shore.
