Cold Mountain (Han-shan) is one of the Translations from the Oriental Classics by which the Committee on Oriental Studies has sought to transmit to Western readers representative works of the major Asian traditions in thought and literature. Our intention is to provide translations based on scholarly study but written for the general reader rather than primarily for other specialists.
The poems of Han-shan are products of the golden age of Chinese poetry and also of the rise of Ch' an (Zen) Buddhism in the T' ang dynasty: Besides having a wide influence on later religious literature in China and Japan, they have been considered among the classics of Chinese poetry generally.
