Song of a Southern Country-Reflections on Ascending the Tower on the Norther Hill at Jingkou
- Poetry of Xin Qiji

Where is the Central Plain?

I gaze beyond the Northern Tower in vain.

It has seen dynasties fall and rise 

As time flies

Or as the endless River rolls before my eyes.

While young.Sun had ten thousand men at his command,

Steeled in battles,he defend'd the southeastern land.

Among his equals in the world,who were heroes true 

But Cao and Liu?

And even Cao would have a son like Sun Zhong-mou.
