How come, on this clear day, dark clouds cover the ground? Citizens of the capital, Don’t come near! For the dragon is moving among us!				E034
The jagged rocks of North Mountain, people call you Halberd Rocks. Towering, you strike the crane riding Prince Jin. Soaring, you pierce the shaman in the sky. Lightning’s fire forged your handles. Frost-like salt whetted your blades. Shall I wield you as a weapon to conquer Chu and save Fan!				E034
Old age and illness arrive together. All my life, I’ve lived as an unwaged scholar. Blurring vision has dimmed my eyesight. My pupils have lost their glow. I’m frightful of reading under a lamp and scared of seeing snow’s glare. I will check the exam results in a while, then close my eyes and learn to forget all motive.				E034
A hundred-span round timber, is useful because it’s useless. A three-foot long beak speaks without speaking.				E034
