曲巷幽人宅，高门大士家。
A winding path leads to the secluded man’s mansion, the tall gates of which, indicate great wealth.
池开照胆镜，林吐破颜花。
The pond’s water is so clean and reflective just like a mirror, while beautiful flowers blossom nearby making people smile
绿水藏春日，青轩袐晚霞。
The green pondwater captures the springtime sun, the dark pavilion under the sunset shines beautifully.
若闻弦管妙，金谷不能夸。
Anyone who hears the fabulous music from the family-owned band, won’t ever praise that of the Gold Valley of Shi Chong anymore*
*(“Gold Valley of Shi Chong is a literary quotation - Shi Chong was a very rich person in the history, and he had a luxury garden in a place called Gold Valley. So the music from the hermit’s mansion was so good, even the music from the Gold Valley can’t compare.)
