3.93

Cliff-brows crossed with snow (Eating more salt than rice.) / River-eyes holding autumn (A single point is hard to deceive.) / Ocean-mouth stirring up waves (With phrases, not the ancestral purpose.)
Boat-tongue riding the current (Without words, cutting off holy and ordinary.) / A hand that quells chaos (Also the cypress tree.) / A tally of great peace (Also the cypress tree.)
Old Zhaozhou! Old Zhaozhou! (Why not answer?) / Stirring up the groves, never ending. (Tiantong is second.)
Though wasting effort, building a cart to fit the ruts; (Brought out to use, it fits exactly.) / Originally lacking skill, yet blocking ravines and filling gullies. (Buying up all elegance without spending a coin.)
