译文:
In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, whose name is Kun. The Kun is so large that it is unknown how many thousands of li it measures. When it changes and becomes a bird named Peng, the back of the Peng is so vast that it is unknown how many thousands of li it measures; when it rises up and flies, its wings seem like clouds hanging down from the sky.
