Poem in Tune of Pusaman
(Written on the wall of Zaokou in Jiangxi Province)
by Xin Qiji (Song Dynasty)
The clear river water below Yugu Terrace;
How many tears in it----tears of the travelers.
If I want to see ChangAn in the northwest,
It's pitiful beyond many a hillcrest.
The verdant mountains cannot block its flow;
After all towards the east it does go.
At dusk on the river I am grieving,
Hearing in deep mountains partridges tweeting.
