Visiting the Mountain Grove of General He in the Company of Instructor Zheng
VII
Jujube[1] tree, cold cloud’s color,
yinchen artemisia[2], scent of spring lotus.
The latter’s brittleness[3] adds to fresh vegetables’ excellence,
the former’s shade augments[4] cool on the dining cloths.
Wild cranes come out in the clear morning,
hill sprites hide in broad daylight.
Forests of stone coiled round by watery precincts[5],
only gray-green for a hundred leagues.
