Fly down a branch of cypress in front of the rock and hit an animal

Crane.

From "Two Poems of Residence in the Mountains on an Autumn Night" written by Shi Jianwu in the Tang Dynasty. I am living in seclusion and just want to have a meal with Xiake, the night is long and the moon is cold and the dewdrops are falling. Two or three times a thousand years old crane flew down to a branch of cypress in front of the rock. Because there is a crane in the original poem, it refers to the crane.

The translation of this sentence is that in this place for thousands of years, only a lonely old crane has cried a few times, and a pine and cypress tree flew down from the rock.
