Original Text
曺南冥植。尙節義。有壁立千仞之氣象。隱遯不仕。爲文章。亦奇偉不凡。如請看千石鍾。非大叩無聲。萬古天王峯。天鳴猶不鳴。不徒其詩韻豪壯。亦自負不淺也

Korean Translation
조남명(曹南冥)의 이름은 식(植)이요 자는 건중(楗中)인데 절의(節義)를 숭상하여 깎아지른 듯한 천 길 벼랑과 같은 기상이 있었으며 벼슬하지 않고 은둔 생활을 하였다. 문장 역시 기위(奇偉)하여 범상치가 않았는데, 가령 천 석들이 종을 보게나 / 請看千石鍾 크게 치지 않으면 소리도 안 난다네 / 非大叩無聲 만고에 변함 없는 천왕봉을 보세나 / 萬古天王峯 하늘이 울어대도 우는 일 전혀 없네 / 天鳴猶不鳴 이라고 한 시를 보면 그 시운(詩韻)이 호장(豪壯)할 뿐만이 아니라 자부하는 것이 얕지 않음을 알 수 있다.

English Translation

Cho Sik esteemed integrity and uprightness and he had the aura (kisang) of a thousand-foot towering cliff. He lived as a recluse and did not take office. His writing also was unique (kiwi) and out of the ordinary (pulbŏm). For example, 請看千石鐘非大叩無聲萬古天王峰天鳴猶不鳴 Please have a look at the thousand-catty bell!If not a strong knock, it makes no sound.The ten-thousand-year-old Heavenly King Peak,even when the sky rings, still rings not. The sound of his poem is grandiose and heroic (hojang) and also confident (chabu) and not shallow (pulch’ŏn).
