Chapter Twenty-Seven · The Story of Han Xiangzi

At the Zhuowei Hermitage, master and servants meet again;Tending an ox, Lord Wen awakens to the Way

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: before the open door of a mountain cave, a white-bearded old man in a coarse robe tied with rope laughs and weeps as he embraces a smiling young Daoist with a flower basket at his waist; a sword lies on the ground between them, and firewood, axes and a stone trough stand beside the pines.

為買東平酒一卮,邇來相會話仙機。

为买东平酒一卮,迩来相会话仙机。

For the sake of a cup of Dongping wine,we met of late and talked of the immortals’ secrets.

壺天有路容人到,凡骨無緣化鶴飛。

壶天有路容人到,凡骨无缘化鹤飞。

There is a road to the Heaven in the Gourd that lets men come,but mortal bones have no destiny to turn into cranes and fly.

莫道煙霞愁縹渺,好將家國認希夷。

莫道烟霞愁缥渺,好将家国认希夷。

Do not say the mists and rosy clouds are sadly faint and far;better to take your home and country for the Soundless and Unseen.
