八风吹不动,一屁过江来。
Remarks about the translation
This is a fragment from a poem by Su Dong Po.
There is a story behind it, originally was 八风吹不动,端坐紫金台 but his Buddhist friend made a joke or something like that and it became 八风吹不动,一屁过江来。

Hi pluiepoco,
Does this mean:

Winds from the eight directions do not move him, but one fart can carry him across the Yangtze?

?
