Song of the Palace
July 5, 2023Thermoregulation in Winter Moths
July 5, 2023Returning Late on the Road from Pingquan on a Winter’s Day
The mountain road is hard to travel, the sun now slanting down,
In a misty village, a crow lands on a frosted tree.
I’ll not arrive before night falls, but that should not concern me,
Once I’ve drunk three warm cups, I’ll feel as if at home.
