霞光 (Xiáguāng)

「落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水共长天一色」

The sunset glow and a lone wild duck fly together; the autumn waters and the vast sky merge into one hue

— Wang Bo, 'Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng'

The evening glow and a solitary duck soar side by side; the autumn river and the endless sky blend into a single color — an immortal masterpiece.

「云霞出海曙，梅柳渡江春」

Clouds and rosy dawn rise from the sea; plum blossoms and willows cross the river bringing spring

— Du Shenyan, 'Replying to Vice-Prefect Lu of Jinling on an Early Spring Outing'

Dawn clouds and rosy light rise from the sea; plum blossoms and willows cross the river, announcing the arrival of spring.

「床前明月光，疑是地上霜」

Before my bed, a pool of bright moonlight; I wonder if it is frost upon the ground

— Li Bai, 'Quiet Night Thoughts'

Moonlight spills before my bed, looking like a layer of white frost upon the ground.

「山光悦鸟性，潭影空人心」

The mountain light delights the birds' nature; the pool's reflection empties the human heart of worldly thoughts

— Chang Jian, 'Inscription on the Courtyard Behind the Ruined Mountain Temple'

The radiance of the mountains brings joy to the birds, and the reflection in the pool clears all worldly cares from the heart.
