Beyond the Frontier (Wang Zhihuan)
The Yellow River rises far among the white clouds,
A lone city amid mountains towering ten thousand feet.
Why should the Qiang flute lament the willows?
The spring breeze does not pass beyond the Jade Gate Pass.
出塞 (王之渙)
黃河遠上一作「黃沙直上」白雲間，
一片孤城萬仞山。
羌笛何須怨楊柳，
春風不度玉門關。
