Zao Jiao Forest
皂 角 林
水 漾 霜 风 冷 客 襟
苔 封 战 骨 动 人 心。
河 边 独 树 知 何 木？
今 古 相 传 皂 角 林！
Zao Jiao Lin
Shui yang shuang feng leng ke jin
Tai feng zhan gu dong ren xin.
He bian du shu zhi he mu?
Jin gu xiang chuan zao jie lin!
Zao Jiao Forest
River white caps and a frosty wind chills this visitor’s clothes
Bones from ancient battles covered in moss touches hearts and minds.
Wonder if anyone remembers anything about this one riverside tree
From olden times to now, human history has forgotten the Zao Jiao forest.
Notes:
Zao Jiao forest located in southern Jiangsu Province.
