Notes: Flat Lake is thought to be Poyang Hu, the lake just to the east of Lushan, which was clearly visible to Hanshan Deqing from his hermitage on the southeast corner of Lushan. This translation from the anthology of Chinese monk poets, The Clouds Should Know Me By Know, edited by Red Pine and Mike O'Connor, published by Wisdom Press.
