Baota Mountain

Cui Wansheng

Those often mentioned things

Climb the hill that stands by the water

Those who are often overlooked

Watch the thunder lightning in silence, a thousand years just like an instance

Ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years…

All are breeze, dust

My figure and footprints are close to you many times

They are not engraved on the boulder at the foot of the mountain

Peaks are far away

The two rivers merge to flow

The symbol of the heights carries away the imaginary clouds

Rocks and pictograms deposited in the body

Is calcified section by section, piling up into a tower

Blood and flesh support this

The supported world is vivid

Such as mountains and waters going with time

Greeting and saying goodbye

Such as men, women and children in spring

Chat affectionately
