張泰《採芝圖》
“Picking Ganoderma” by Zhang Tai (1435-1508)[1]
山中過雨藥苗肥，
野老尋芝踏翠微。
紫豔隨風迎曉杖，
冷香和露濕秋衣。
石田雲淺無勞種，
蘭逕人稀自擷歸。
得向清時養睂壽，
療飢寧羡首陽薇。[2]
In the rain-washed mountain, herbal seedlings thriving,
An elderly rustic looking for Ganoderma strolls in verdant foliage.
Purple blooms in the breeze greet his dawn staff;
Chill fragrance infused in dew damps his autumn clothes.
Stony fields, low clouds, no labouring.
An orchid path, few people: [he] returns alone with his gleanings.
[He] gets to nourish longevity in a time of peace:
To relieve hunger, how are [Ganoderma] inferior to the vetches of Shouyang?[3]
[1] We don’t know to which painting this poem is dedicated. The images below are examples of paintings on the theme of picking Ganoderma (especially lingzhi 靈芝), which is often a metaphor for the status of immortality or its pursuit. [2] Red characters rhyme. [3] Shouyang was where the high antiquity figures Boyi 伯夷 and his brother Shuqi 叔齊 lived their life in reclusion and allegedly survived on vetches.
