The passenger road is uncertain, and the river is not level. The wind of the dike is riding on the waves, and the sea and the moon shine on the sand. When the land is dangerous, the worries will be born overnight. Thousands of miles away from my hometown, I can hear the bell ringing in the air.

ask the ambassador Xiao of Huainan when he will respect wine and Fu and stop the clouds. In autumn, the iron flute is green and the silver hook is white. He feeds on Duke Lake Haishi, protects the storks and geese. I have a strong heart in climbing the altar, and I like to wish you good luck. I'd rather not have a book in my old days, but I'm more worried about it after five nights. In Wuxiang, it rains in the summer, but in Jiangxian, it rains in the river. The willows are as old as they used to be. Ji Sheng is lazy when he is learning from others, but he has more tears when he is missing for thousands of miles.
