15Yangshan Plants the Hoe仰山插鍬
Introduction 示眾
未語先知，謂之默論；不明自顯，謂之暗機。三門前合掌，兩廊下行道，有箇意度。中庭上作舞，後門外搖頭，又作麼生？
Knowing before a word is spoken: call it the silent argument. Showing yourself without explaining: call it the hidden trigger. You can press your palms together at the front gate, or pace the corridors lost in thought. But here is the real question. What about the one who dances in the courtyard and shakes his head outside the back door?
溈山問仰山：「甚處來？」仰云：「田中來。」山云：「田中多少人？」仰插下鍬子，叉手而立。山云：「南山大有人刈茆。」仰拈鍬子便行。
Guishan asked Yangshan, "Where've you been?"
"Out in the fields," Yangshan said.
"How many people are out there?"
Yangshan stuck his hoe in the ground, folded his hands, and stood still.
Guishan said, "There's a whole crowd cutting grass on the south mountain."
Yangshan pulled up his hoe and walked off.
