Translation:
Yellow Mountain is filled with layers of peaks with thousands of peaks competing for beauty. Streams flow freely and the mountain peaks are shrouded in mist and clouds. The scenery is tranquil and cool all year round like autumn. Facing Yellow Mountain one can see the clouds and mist competing for beauty on the solitary peaks and waterfalls cascading down the steep cliffs. Legend has it that there is a stone in the Alchemy Cave of Lian Dan Peak that resembles a peach blossom and the Cai Zhi Yuan at the foot of Xuan Yuan Peak is said to be the place where the Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan collected Lingzhi mushrooms. Therefore in early spring after the snow has cleared and the sky is clear I begin to enjoy the snow-covered mountains. I have personally seen the water of Bai Long Tan during the day which is like thunder striking and surging like the rolling waves of the sea.
I wonder if the jade pillows and beds that the Yellow Emperor and Fuqiu Gong used when they visited Yellow Mountain are still there. On a moonlit night when facing Tian Du Peak and looking up I can faintly hear the sound of a phoenix flute coming from a distance. In the deep mountainside covered in greenery in the faint light of dawn I hope to see the Dragon Tower emerging in the sky. The color of the stone cave where Fuqiu Gong refined cinnabar is still red but the fire in the alchemy furnace has burned out and the furnace has long cooled. How can one obtain the elixir and cultivate immortality? Who knows the answer? It seems that I can only ask the white deer at the source and the green bull by the water's edge.

汪莘（1155～1227）是南宋时期的一位诗人。他的字是叔耕，号是柳塘，出生于休宁（今属安徽）的一个布衣家庭。他隐居在黄山，专注于研究《周易》，同时也涉猎释道和老子的思想。
在宋宁宗嘉定年间，汪莘曾三次上书朝廷，向官方陈述了天灾人祸、民生困苦和官员腐败等问题，并提出了布阵的方法，但他并未得到任何答复。当时的宰相徐谊在建康时，曾想将汪莘荐举给朝廷，希望他能成为一位遁世隐士，但这个计划最终未能成功。
晚年，汪莘在柳溪建造了自己的住所，自称方壶居士，并与朱熹成为好友。他的作品包括《方壶存稿》9卷，有明代汪璨等人刻印的版本；还有《方壶集》4卷，有清代雍正九年（1731年）刻印的版本。
关于汪莘的出生和死亡年份，他出生于1155年，去世于1227年。
