استذكار الماضي عند جبل سي ساي / Remembering the Past at Xisai Mountain
Wang Jun's tower ships descended from Yizhou,
The royal aura of Jinling dimmed and was gathered away.
A thousand-fathoms of iron chains sank to the river's bottom,
A single white banner of surrender emerged from Shitou.
How many times has the world grieved over past events?
The mountain's shape remains, pillowed upon the cold stream.
Now we meet the day when all within the Four Seas is one home,
The old fortress desolate, reeds and rushes in autumn.
西塞山懷古
王濬樓船下益州，金陵王氣黯然收。
千尋鐵鎖沈一作「沉」江底，一片降旛出石頭。
人世幾回傷往事，山形依舊枕寒流。
今逢四海為家日，故壘蕭蕭蘆荻秋。
