懒摇白羽扇
Too relaxed to wave a white feather fan,
裸袒青林中
I sit bare-chested among the green woods.
脱巾挂石壁
I hang my headcloth on the rocky wall,
露顶洒松风
And let the pine breeze cool my uncovered head.
What the poem means
Relaxing in the green mountains, the poet hardly bothers to wave his feather fan. He hangs his headcloth on a rock and lets the pine breeze cool him. Children can imitate the relaxed feeling while staying dressed.
