Cold Mountain has many wonders,
People who climb here are always getting scared.
When the moon shines, water sparkles clear
When wind blows, grass swishes and rattles.
On bare plum, flowers of snow
On the dead stump, leaves of mist.
At the touch of rain it all turns fresh and alive
At the wrong season you can’t ford the creeks.
—Han-Shan
