From afar, the mountains and waters are far away,

Gradually realize that the sky is low and the universe is wide.

Northeast has a clear view of the sea.

Looking at Chang'an from the southwest,

There are thousands of round pearls.

At the beginning of the rising sun,

Every storm starts under the rock.

There is dragon pan in naluo cave

Every time the sun rises and the sun shines, the quiet Wanghai temple is completely immersed in a sea of clouds, mountains and fog. With the sound of the morning bell, it becomes more solemn and solemn.
