Inscriptions

The poem reads:\r\nSince first wishing to go off to the eastern cliff,\r\nCountless years have passed up to now.\r\nYesterday I came, pulling myself up by vines,\r\nHalfway, troubled by wind-swept mist.\r\nPath so narrow, robe kept getting stuck;\r\nMoss so sticky, sandals wouldn’t budge.\r\nHere, beneath the cinnabar cassia,\r\nI’ve just pillowed myself on the white clouds, and slept.\r\n\r\n欲向東巖去 于今無量年 昨來攀葛上 半路困風煙 \r\n徑窄衣難進 苔粘履不前 住茲丹桂下 且枕白雲眠\r\n
