Wushan Yi Duan Yun: The Sky Clears
Lifting the oar to slap the white waves, unhurried the migrant birds move on. A single leaf of a boat draws near Mount Wu. The clear-day haze takes harm from the first cold.
Old affairs, a thousand hammerings and a hundred temperings; creation will not bear being schemed over. Better to let go and enjoy what is here—hoist the sail, and of itself the whole view opens wide.
Glosses—
Zhao: an implement for rowing a boat;
Pian zhou: a small boat;
Clear-day haze: the mist in the mountains on a fine day.
