1. "Bamboo and Stone"

Zheng Xie of the Qing Dynasty?

He insists on not letting go of the green mountains, and his roots are still in the broken rocks.

After countless hardships, I am still strong, regardless of the wind from east to west, north or south.

Translation: The bamboo clings to the green mountain and does not relax at all. Its roots are firmly rooted in the cracks of the rocks. After countless hardships and blows, the body and bones are still strong, no matter how strong the southeast wind blows in the hot summer, or the northwest wind blows in the harsh winter.

2. "Crossing the Lingding Ocean"

Wen Tianxiang of the Song Dynasty?

After a hard encounter, only a few stars were scattered around.

The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind flutters, and the life experience is ups and downs.

Afraid to say panic on the beach, sigh alone in the ocean.

Who has never died since ancient times? Keep your loyalty to reflect history.

Translation: Looking back on the hardships I went through in my early years from the imperial examination to becoming an official, four hard years have passed since the war ended. The country is in danger like catkins in the strong wind, and the ups and downs in one's life are like duckweeds in the rain, drifting without roots, rising and sinking. The disastrous defeat at Fangfangtan makes me still frightened to this day. It is a pity that I was trapped in Yuanlu alone in the ocean, and I have been helpless since then. Since ancient times, people are bound to die! If you can be loyal to your country, you will still be able to shine for thousands of years after your death and leave your name in history.

3. "Summer Quatrains"

Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty?

He was a hero in life and a ghost in death.

I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.

Translation: When you are alive, you must be a hero among men, and when you die, you must be a hero among ghosts. People still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to return to Jiangdong secretly.

4. "Four of Seven Poems on the Military March"

Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty?

The long clouds in Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance.

The yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken.

Translation: Dark clouds covered Qinghai Lake, covering the continuous snow-capped mountains in darkness. The ancient border city and Yumen Pass are thousands of miles apart, facing each other from afar. The soldiers guarding the border have experienced hundreds of battles, their armor has been worn through, and their ambition is unquenchable. They vow not to return home until they defeat the invading enemy.

5. "Inscriptions on the Wall in Prison"

Tan Sitong of the Qing Dynasty?

Looking at the door and stopping there, he thought of Zhang Jian and endured death for a moment while waiting for Du Gen.

I am smiling to the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact.

Translation: I hope that Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, who fled, can be protected by people like Zhang Jian when they stay on the run. I hope that my comrades can endure death and wait to complete the great cause of reform like Dugan. I look up to the sky and laugh, and die generously, because those who leave and those who stay are upright and upright, just like the majestic Kunlun Mountains.
