鹿柴 ---- a small rural village , 但---- but , only , 返景----- reflection of the sunset 复 --- again
照 --- reflect , 青苔 ---- lichen
In the vacant silent mountain, though you cannot see people , you still hear people's voices every now and then. The rest light of sunset shines through the woods and reflects onto the lichen.
It is a picture of such a quiet ambit.
