这首诗描绘了西北群山环绕、护卫皇城的壮丽景象，以及盛大的皇家祭祀、游园和庆祝活动的场面。下面是这首诗的英译：
Northwest, the mountains stretch far and wide, Circling to protect the emperor's town. The Jade Spring flows vast to the sea, Golden palaces lean on cloud-filled skies.
In April, dragon boats row with might, With officials leading the way. Falling petals shimmer around swords and ornaments, Tall willows brush against sails in the breeze.
Maidens form lines in distance, Officials step out of formation. Harmonious voices declare the beat of drums, Precious offerings gather like stars in the sky.
Early morning mist clears under a gentle rain, Lake waves are still, not a ripple in sight. Tiles shimmer, reflecting the sun's rays, Chimes ring out, a vibrant sound in the air.
Vedic chanting and thunderous incantations, Nectar-like drink offering in snowy purity. Imperial seat is spread amidst jade forests, Fragrant air fills the palace of verdant glory.
The inner banquet is just beginning, Celestial music changes as it flows. Hunting in the nearby wilderness, The divine stork floats down to the marsh.
The wind at the imperial procession way follows the chariot, The moon above the palace moves with it as well. It must be a pleasure to visit the imperial garden, But what could be more fortunate than to be in the presence of the divine?
The heart is united with the people in joy, Advice from the prime minister is invaluable. The court announces the elevation of high officials, Prostrating themselves in homage to answer the blessings of heaven.
Their deeds aim for a thousand years of glory, Their spirit unites like one in a hall. They follow the order of Yao's calendar, And spread benevolence like Shun's throughout the land.
This grand event inspires new verses, I, a slow scholar, lack the ability to fully express its beauty. I wish to convey these praises and celebrate in song and verse.
