一路寒山萬木中
Xie's title is from the last line of a poem poem by Han Hong (韓 翃, 進士 degree in 754) The poem is titled "Sending off the man from Mt. Qi to Return to Mt. Changbai."
送齊山人歸長白山
舊事仙人白兔公。掉頭歸去又乘風。
柴門流水依然在。一路寒山萬木中。
Fabled affairs about Immortals: Master White Hare --
He turned around to return home, riding on the wind.
A thatched gate, and the flowing stream, still there;
One trail leads among myriad trees leads into the wintry mountain.
[tr. Irving Lo]
