المرور بمنزل جيا يي في تشانغشا / Passing by Jia Yi's House in Changsha
Three years an exile, lingering here in grief,
Through ages, only the sorrow of the Chu guest remains.
Among autumn grass I seek where he once walked—now only men are gone;
In cold woods I watch, vainly, the slanting sun.
The Han emperor, though famed for virtue, showed him scant favor;
The Xiang River, unmoved, cares nothing for the elegy cast upon its waves.
Where the silent hills and rivers wither and fall—
Why, sir, were you banished to the edge of the world?
長沙過賈誼宅
三年謫宦此棲遲，萬古惟留楚客一作「國」悲。
秋草獨一作「漸」尋人去後，寒林空見日斜時。
漢文有道恩猶薄，湘水無情弔豈知。
寂寂江山搖落處一作「正搖落」，憐君何事到天涯。
