(Translated another chinese classical poem)
Meditate on the past in TongGuan
(Zhang YangHao , Yuan Dynasty,china)
Mountains gather,
Rivers anger,
What a grand scenery around here!
Overlook the capitcal in the west,
Feel hesitate at my heart,
Upset for the road passed by,
Thousands of palaces remain no longer!
Empire rise, the people suffer.
Empire fall, the people suffer.
(Note:
1,TongGuan is a city of China
2,The writer was a high officer of Yuan Dynasty who sympathized with the common people.)
