After Success - 功名後



Another jogging inspiration...


1.日上三竿汗滴花 The sun climbs towards noon and sweat beads in profusion,
2.心靜自然緣何怕 A heart in calm and there’s nothing to be afraid of.
3.夢難入寢亭外臥 When dreams into the bedroom becomes difficult, by the pavilion lay,
4.雲騰高升近月華 Soaring upon high clouds to lunar magnificence neared.
5.仙樂迎迎桂枝折 Celestial music a welcome the osmanthus bough break,
6.鰲頭勿釣三足蛤 Alone upon the turtle’s head, fish not for the three-legged toad.
7.民情應盡殷勤顧 With utmost meticulous care for the people,
8.若背聖言臭天下 And if saintly teachings not heeded, mired everywhere in stench you become.

1.花 – complex patterns.

5. Breaking the osmanthus bough – becoming the number one scholar

6.The 鰲 is a mythical sea turtle with a dragon-like head. The number one scholar will stand in front of the imperial sculpture as honors are conferred. The three-legged toad is a mythical lunar denizen. Legend has it that its stomach contains unlimited amount of gold coins.
