(First poem)
I see the water of the Yellow River, how many times have it passed Degree of clarity.
The water flow is like an arrow, and the world is like duckweed.
Insanity is the fundamental karma, and love is the trouble.
How many calamities have passed through reincarnation, and it is still unclear.
When Han Shan said this, half of the world went crazy.
If you have something to say to the other person, it is enough for people to complain.
The sincere words are also straight, and the straight words have no backside.
Look who is the Arhat crossing the Nai River.
(Second poem)
