1.30

Ox head submerges, (Like a flash of lightning. Missed it already.) / horse head turns back; (Like spark struck from flint.) / In the mirror of Caoxi, dust and grime are utterly gone. (Smash the mirror, and I will meet with you. You must smash it before you can.)
Behold, the drum is struck, yet you do not see; (Piercing your eyes. Do not take it lightly. What is so difficult to see about a lacquer tub?)
For whom do the hundred flowers bloom when spring arrives? (The Dharma grants no mercy. A thorough mess. Emerging from inside the cave of entangling vines.)
