Ridiculous Cold Mountain Road

Han Shan (Tang Dynasty) The path to Hanshan's place is laughable, A path, but no sign of cart or horse. Converging gorges         hard to trace their twists, Jumbled cliffs         unbelieveably rugged. A thousand grasses bend with due, A hill of pines hums in the wind. And now I've lost the shortcut home, Body asking shadow         how do you keep up?

Kéxiào Hánshān Dào

Hánshān (Táng) Kéxiào Hánshān dào, Ér wú chē mǎ zōng. Lián yù nán jì qǔ, Dié zhàng bù zhī chóng. Qì lù qiān bān cǎo, Yín fēng yī yàng sōng. Cǐ shí mí jìng chù, Xíng wèn yǐng rú hé.
