A tiger carved from wood stands in the mountain forest
The poem
木雕一虎在山林遠望威容意不禁縱說不妨終可畏此身如入大江心
In English
A tiger carved from wood stands in the mountain forest.From afar its majesty is hard to bear.Even if people say it is harmless, it is still frightening,as if the body had entered the middle of a great river.
What it says
A wooden tiger stands in the mountain forest and looks imposing from afar. Even if people say it is harmless, it still feels frightening, like standing in the middle of a great river. Something that looks threatening may be less so than it seems, though the pressure you feel is real. Judge calmly without dismissing your fear.
A thought to take with you
Check whether the threat is real, then decide how to respond based on facts.
