The Complete Cold Mountain: Poems of the Legendary Hermit Hanshan

Translation: Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt
Part One: Original Poems, Circa Late Sixth to Early Seventh Century

19

In Luoyang there are many women
who display their charms on a spring day.
They pick roadside blossoms
so each can ornament her topknot.
Their flowery hairdos entice those around,
though others look down on them and glare.
Why seek out troublesome lovers?
Go home to see your husbands.
