The original text and translation of Wen Tianxiang's poem "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang" are as follows:

The original text: Once hard work comes, there are few stars around. The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and the life experience is ups and downs. Fear beachhead says fear, and there is a sigh in the ocean. Who hasn't died since ancient times? Take the heart of Dan and shine on the history.

Looking back, I went through a lot of hardships in my early years when I entered the imperial examination, and now it has been four years since the war ceased. The country is in danger like catkins in the gale, and the ups and downs of my life are like duckweeds in the rain, drifting without roots, rising and sinking. The fiasco of Fear Beach still scares me, but it's a pity that I'm trapped in Yuan Lu in the ocean, and I've been alone ever since. Since ancient times, people have to die! If you can be loyal to your country, you can still shine for a long time after your death, and you will be remembered in history.

This poem was written in the second year of Song Xiangxing. In the first year of Song Xiangxing, Wen Tianxiang was defeated and captured in Wupoling, Haifeng, Guangdong Province, and was taken to a ship. He wrote this poem the following year when he crossed Lingdingyang. After being escorted to the cliff mountain, Zhang Hongfan forced him to write a letter to surrender Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and others who stuck to the cliff mountain. Wen Tianxiang showed this poem to show his ambition.
