زيارة معبد شيانغجي

I know not where the Xiangji Temple lies—

For several miles I climb into the peaks of cloud.

Old trees line no path for men,

Deep mountains—where does the bell resound?

Spring waters choke upon the jagged rocks,

Sunlight chills the dark green pines.

At dusk, beside the empty pool's winding shore,

In meditation, I tame the venomous dragon.
