Writing About Myself Resembles a Painting of Mt. Jin
自题金山画像
心 似 已 灰 之 木
身 如 不 系 之 舟。
问 汝 平 生 功 业
黄 州 惠 州 儋 州。
Zi Ti Jin Shan Hua Xiang
Xin si yi hui zhi mu
Shen ru bu xi zhi zhou.
Wen ru ping sheng gong ye
Huang zhou hui zhou dan zhou.
Writing About Myself Resembles a Painting of Mt. Jin
Heart-mind like wood ashes
Life like a boat that is not tied up.
If asked about my lifetime achievements
I would reply: look to Hangzhou, Huizhou, and Danzhou.
Notes:
Jin Shan: Mt. Jin is located near Shanghai.
Huizhou: Central Guangdong Province.
Danzhou: Northwest part on the island of Hainan.
