#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 18 On a legendary horse, with a coral whip, he dashes down the Luoyang road. Such a proud, handsome boy doesn’t believe in aging and decline, though his hair is sure to turn white. How long can his rosy cheeks remain? Just look north to the mountain of tombs— that is the Island of the Immortals. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/45213408) | ~~[Next]()~~ [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [10](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) | [11](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) | [12](https://lemm.ee/post/44775563) | [13](https://lemm.ee/post/44860859) | [14](https://lemm.ee/post/44954044) | [15](https://lemm.ee/post/45053783) | [16](https://lemm.ee/post/45130469) | [17](https://lemm.ee/post/45213408) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki

#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 17 In the third month, when silk worms are small, women come to pick flowers in a field. Then they play with butterflies by the fence and toss toads into the pond. One gathers plums in her soft sleeves, another digs up bamboo shoots with a golden hairpin. If I was forced to compare them, this village is better than my home. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/45130469) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/45371572) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [10](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) | [11](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) | [12](https://lemm.ee/post/44775563) | [13](https://lemm.ee/post/44860859) | [14](https://lemm.ee/post/44954044) | [15](https://lemm.ee/post/45053783) | [16](https://lemm.ee/post/45130469) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki

#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 16 People are a country’s foundation, just like a tree depends on the ground. If the soil is deep, it supports the spreading branches. If the soil is poor, the tree will decline. Do not expose its roots, or the branches will wither and the fruit will fall. To get fish by destroying a dam benefits you just one time. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/45053783) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/45213408) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [10](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) | [11](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) | [12](https://lemm.ee/post/44775563) | [13](https://lemm.ee/post/44860859) | [14](https://lemm.ee/post/44954044) | [15](https://lemm.ee/post/45053783) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki

#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 15 A country person lives in a thatched-roof hut. In front of his gate, a horse or cart is rarely seen. Birds gather in the dark forest, the broad streams teem with fish. He takes his child to collect nuts and berries, and together, he and his wife plow the hilly field. Inside their hut, what do they possess? Only books on a single shelf. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/44954044) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/45130469) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [10](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) | [11](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) | [12](https://lemm.ee/post/44775563) | [13](https://lemm.ee/post/44860859) | [14](https://lemm.ee/post/44954044) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki
#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 14 I am a woman who lives in Handan. I sing in low and high pitches. Happily, in this place where you peacefully hide, this music has been played for ages. Already drunk, don’t say a word about leaving, the sun is not yet in the middle of the sky. In my house, you sleep beneath a quilt embroidered with silver. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/44860859) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/45053783) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [10](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) | [11](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) | [12](https://lemm.ee/post/44775563) | [13](https://lemm.ee/post/44860859) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki
#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 13 Much has been inherited from their parents, rice and vegetable fields—there’s no need to envy others. The wife rocks the loom, cr-ack cr-ack. The children make baby sounds, gaa gaa. They clap their hands at dancing flowers, or prop up their chins to listen to bird songs. Who will come around to appreciate this? Woodcutters often pass right by. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/44775563) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/44954044) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [10](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) | [11](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) | [12](https://lemm.ee/post/44775563) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki
#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 12 In a jeweled hall with hanging pearl screens, there’s a lovely and graceful young woman. Looking more beautiful than a goddess, her blossoming figure is like a young peach. Her house in the east merges with spring mist, but in her western house, autumn winds rise. In thirty years, she too will become like the remains of sugar cane. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/44860859) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [10](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) | [11](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki
#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 11 A handsome young man on a horse swings his whip and points to the pleasure quarter, saying, “I will never die.” He has not yet taken a journey. As the four seasons change, he enjoys flowers, but one day they all will wither and yellow. He can’t taste the finest cream and honey until the day he dies. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/44775563) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [10](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki
#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 10 A city woman with delicate eyebrows and a white agate-studded sash teases a parrot surrounded by flowers. When she plays her lute beneath the moon, the melody resounds for three months. Countless people admire her short dance, but none of this can last. A lotus cannot withstand the winter cold. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/44699500) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [9](https://lemm.ee/post/44295937) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki
#### The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan ##### Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt ###### Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century ----- #### 9 A parrot who lived in the western country was captured by a net in Wu and brought here. A beautiful woman plays with it from morning to night, going in and out of the courtyard of the women’s quarters. She keeps it in a royal golden cage, with a bar to the door that injured its wing. Unlike a swan or a crane, it can’t drift with the wind or soar away into the clouds. ----- [Prev](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) | [Next](https://lemm.ee/post/44553571) [1](https://lemm.ee/post/42541865) | [2](https://lemm.ee/post/42625951) | [3](https://lemm.ee/post/42702947) | [4](https://lemm.ee/post/42922982) | [5](https://lemm.ee/post/43233247) | [6](https://lemm.ee/post/43441471) | [7](https://lemm.ee/post/43867672) | [8](https://lemm.ee/post/44036771) [Hanshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanshan_(poet)) wiki
