The fragrant jade-like arils contain immortal juice; The red textured round rinds are made with mermaid gauze

She comes from Zhenla; Calling herself Little Yellow Fragrance

The wind and the dew lend her cosmetic cream; The shades of rouge blend into her skin

They are most beautiful in the rain; They are most charming when beginning to bloom

The waters are still, the tower’s shadow straight; Mountains dusky where the frontier sun slants down

I rejoice that there are not many buildings; Lucky not to have the cloudy mountains blocked from view

Lake geese rise in pair after pair; When someone comes, on purpose they fare on north

Light on bamboo concentrates wilderness colors; The reflection of my cottage ripples in the river’s current

I raise my face, avid to watch the birds; I turn my head, mistakenly to answer someone

Yingwu Zhou

Mists open up, orchid leaves fragrant on the warm breezes; On riversides they mingle with peach blossoms to form brocade-like waves

The wild geese, taking along the heart's sorrow, have gone; Come the mountains, carrying the fine moon in their beak

White gulls dream of playing together in waves

The green colour of the mountains, near or far, is luxuriant; The leaves on the trees, tall or short, are sparse

grain preparation on the threshing floor

The returning traveller overlooks the open country while awaiting the ferry

The water reaches the sky when wild geese arrive

Sound of cockcrow, the moon over thatched inn; Someone's footprints, frost on the plank bridge

Fog hides the trees on the level moor; Wind carries the waves on the distant shore

The cliffs are sprayed with the cold water; The stone steps are cleaned by spring clouds

The birds perch on the trees at the pond; A monk knocks at the door under the moonlight

Beyond thousand peaks a single candle burns; At the first night watch a rain shower falls

Trees of lofty height look denser at daybreak; Mountains and hills appear more in fine weather

Zhanggong Dong (seventy-two blissful lands)

The wilderness moist, the misty light thin; Sands radiant, the sunlight moves slowly

I gather pinecones brought down by the wind; I hack open honeycombs as the weather gets cold

Shu’s stars are seen rarely in cloudy skies; River rain at night is heard often

The candle slants, I first see it close by; The boat grows heavy, but I never hear anything

Where the torrent runs cold you have almost made it; The forest is black, birds have surely roosted

Mountain clouds rise, filling the valley; Soaking your hedge, a stream hangs in a little falls

Tall bamboo do not let in the heat; The waves of merging streams needlessly surge

Path and rocks wind around each other; The stream and clouds go or stay as they will
