Bamboo in Danxia Temple


by Ma Tianlai


Grass in the human world knows no fall here,

Colorless flowers bloom in the realm of desire there.


Ma Tianlai (1172-1232) worked as a compiler in the Historiography Institute during the Zhenyou reign (1213-1217) of Emperor Xuanzong of the Jin Dynasty. “Grass... knows no fall" refers to bamboo, since it does not wither in autumn.
