Zhan Shichuang (1841-1893)

Crossing Hangu Pass
         Zhan  Shichuanɡ

Long is the ancient road;
Towering the insurmountable pass.
Gone the Blue Buffalo, way beyond Hangu,
Only the Daode classic is with us
        millennia old.

Who is today's dweller of that cave house?
The white rooster's still there
        wandering in the courtyard.
The wheels roll on
        this Taoist tour of ours;
Destiny has brought us together
        from all corners of the world.
