The Old Dragon's Head

The Old Dragon's Head
(lǎolóngtóu)


Where the Great Wall meets the sea,

where it dips its toes in the water,

where it rests its old head at Shanhaiguan,

I will walk further and buy an ink stone

to start my Shānshuǐhuà, Mountain

and Water painting.



老龙的头
(lǎolóngtóu)




万里长城遇海

它把脚趾浸入水中

它的老头放在山海关,

我会走得更远,买一个ink

开始我的Shānshuǐhuà,山

和水画。
