I'm trying to translate it, if you found any grammarmistake, please tell me , thanks. There are many idiomatic expressions, such as "SHENG", an old chinese musical instrument. if you don't know what it is, just let me know.
DONG Shuangcheng was a gorgeous girl who lived in Qiantang riverside in Western Zhou Dynasty. She had a witty and beautiful spirit. As the official historian in Shang Dynasty, her ancestor was pure to himself and humble to other people. He also knew lots of things about future and history and made suggestions to the King. After the perishment of Shang Dynasty, Her ancestor moved to the Qiantang riverside. He planted the peach forest at the foot of the Klippe and built a Thatched Hut to lived in. There was many red and pink flowers around the Thatched Hut in spring. It was just like a god while you lived in there.
DONG Shuangcheng was edified by this living environment since she was a little girl. This soft as a osier girl was keen on peach flowers. As DONG Shuangcheng was growing, she was as beautiful as the peach flowers. Oneday, DONG decided to Refined Dan medicine by peach flowers and the herbs in the mountain in an inspirational flashor. At first, her Dan medicine only could treat some small diseases. After times and times researching and developing of duration and degree of heating and formula, her Dan Medicine could treat lots of internal diseases. Many people came to her house to seek medical advice and bought the medicine.
DONG was busy to collecting the meterials and refining the medicines. She also played SHENG to fun herself at the free time. Sometimes, If she was very happy, she would sing a song named "Danxiaofeng". It is said that there were hundreds of birds around her when she plays SHENG. There also were red-crowned cranes to come to listen when she sang.
Taoism was very popular at that time, the royal people was interested in how to be a god. That is why people like to choose a good environment place to build Thatched Hut. They can enjoy the rosy clouds, feel the spirit of sun and moon and refining medicine by plants. They dream to live without food in this mediocre world and can be a god somedays. Dong and her family built a Thatched Hut to lived in and refined the Dan medicine in the foot of Klippe near Xihu. In fact, she is not a Taoist nun. Taoism was not a religion in that time, and it became a religion and began to attract believers after Han Dynasty.Taoism as a theory and Taoism as religion are totally different things. As a religion, it just took some parts of the theory and borrow Lao Zi, the founder of Taoism theory as god.
