Blue Clouds Inn
One thousand feet of coiled and curled rock precipices with
narrow winding paths.
Up to now, of one hundred places, these two strong enough to attract heaven.
The Four Hermits from the Han Dynasty times very clever
Without land, Zhang Yi gives advice to the emperor.
Connected clouds, this place of curtain and vine shadows come together
Curled around a pillow, visitors with cool dreams and springhead sounds.
Secluded intellectuals and artists come together to live deep within this place
Three hundred mu of irrigated sprouts and mulberry trees.
Notes:
Four Hermits: Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) group of four old men known as the Four Graybeards. They withdrew from government service to live in the Chang mountains. Refusing to return and serve the emperor, they later became inspirational for non-participation and non-cooperation with the criminal and corrupt.
Zhang Yi: (ca. 329-309 BC): Famous military strategist that helped the Qin to unite the surrounding small kingdoms into a unified China.
Mu: One sixth of an acre.
