2.98

Having no outside, it contains all—
(So great, nothing is not encompassed)
Having no obstruction, it surges through—
(So fine, nothing is not penetrated)
The gates and walls are sheer and steep;
(Better not poke your head in)
The locks and barriers are multiple.
(No need to snap the fingers)
The guest lies down, constantly intoxicated with wine;
(Wake him up with a beating)
The farmer turns sluggish, though his belly is full with rice.
(Bury them in a single pit)
Shooting straight out into empty space, the wind flaps the wondrous wings;
(Piercing open the azure heavens)
Trampling over the vast blue sea, the thunder escorts the roaming dragon.
(The Awakening of Insects, the second solar term)
