POEMS ON FALLING FLOWERS IN RUNNING SCRIPT
The setting sun, that vagabond, west of the little bridge;
Spring scenes now fading, feelings so confused.
Before the gate of Broidered Village the stream still good for laundry;
Inside the shrine on Yellow Ridge the birds yet chattering.
To burn, seeking conch-dust incense to give the priest in charge;
Yuanjin temple collection. | Wu Dacheng collection. | Wu Hufan collection. | Yu-te tang collection.
