Piling irons for ten thousand feet guard the purple sky;
Where puppies are seen on top of clouds, villages and marketplaces lie.
In the splendor of autumn, where is the most worthy spot to spend the day?
Amid the rustling sounds of mountain streams, with a volume in hand, meditating on the Way [Dao].
Inscribed by Qichang.
