First Day of Spring On Gold Ox Road

Yuan Hongdao 1568-1610 This is the day the farmer puts down his plow, the young girl leaves her loom, the scholar sets aside his books, the official stops collecting taxes, the merchant closes shop, the fisherman hauls in his nets... So why am I the only man         walking dangerous slopes                 under towering mountains?
