He Zi Nostalgia original text and translation by Mianchi

The original text and translation of He Zi's nostalgic poem by Mianchi are as follows:

In life, you go here and there again, leaving some traces by chance. What is your Taoist image? It seemed to me like a swan flying everywhere and accidentally landing on the snow somewhere. It was just a coincidence that it left some paw prints on this piece of snow, because the swan's flight east and west is not certain at all. The old monk Fengxian has passed away, and all he left behind is a new pagoda to store his ashes. We have no chance to see the broken wall where the inscriptions were made. The old monk’s ash tower and our inscription on the wall are similar to the paw prints Feihong accidentally left on the snow! Do you remember the rugged journey to Mianchi? ——The road is long, the people are tired, and the donkey is braying from exhaustion.

Hezi is nostalgic from Mianchi⑴

Everywhere in life is similar, it should be like a flying hero stepping on snow and mud⑵.

Occasionally, there are fingers and claws left on the mud, and Hongfei is counting the things.

The old monk has died and a new pagoda ⑶ has been built, and the old inscriptions cannot be seen due to the broken walls ⑷.

Do you still remember the rugged past? The road was long and people were trapped and the donkeys neighed⑸.
