• Included are extensive notes, a preface by renowned translator Red Pine, a findings list, and photographs of the cave and surrounding area where Han Shan (Cold Mountain) lived.
• Cold Mountain is one of the most revered poets in China.
• He was a Taoist/Buddhist hermit who begged for food at temples, often sang and drank with cowherds, and became an immortal figure in the history of Chinese literature and Zen.
• His poems were written twelve-hundred years ago on the rocks, trees, and temple walls of China's Tientai Mountains.
• This revised edition also includes poems by Han Shan's colleagues, Pickup (Shih-te) and Big Stick (Feng-kan), translated here for the first time.
• As Red Pine begins his Preface, If China's literary critics were put in charge of organizing a tea for their country's greatest poets of the past, Cold Mountain would not be on many invitation lists.
• Yet no other poet occupies the altars of China's temples and shines, where his statue often stands alongside immortals and bodhisattvas.
• He is equally revered in Korea and Japan.
• And when Jack Kerouac dedicated The Dharma Bums to him in 1958, Cold Mountain became the guardian angel of a generation of Westerners as well.
