Privileged to read the translation. Thank you for the share. Surely would like to know much about ancient Chinese medication. Because I know a little on this
Thanks for stopping by to read this, Queeny. I have posted translations of several other poems by Yan Li. He would have had a chance to learn Chinese medicine from his grandfather, but unfortunately that gentleman died in political upheavals when Yan Li was 12 years old. In another poem, you can read of Yan Li's regrets over missing his chance to learn about medicine: ACHING FOR YOUR PAIN.
Yan Li has written this poem very beautifully about expressive social behavior. Your translation has added more values here. Ancient Chinese medicine heals many. An amazing sharing is done here.10
