5.32

The mind of a thief—(The stolen goods are already exposed.)
Courage surpassing others;(Acting as if no one were around.)
Distinctly vertical and horizontal, responding to the capacity.(A skillful thief of daylight robbery.)
Baofu and Yunmen—drooping noses, slighting lips;(Sticking their heads out too far.)
Cuiyan and Changqing—long eyebrows mirroring eyes.(Pretending not to know.)
Ignorant Chan monks,
how countless they are!(Tiantong fabricates; how does he compare to Wansong?)
Stubbornly saying that intent and words are swept away together.(Wishing to conceal, it is all the more exposed.)
Burying themselves, swallowing their breath in silence;(A son not measuring up to his father.)
Dragging down the ancestral school, facing the wall and carrying a board.(The household declines for a generation.)
