The mountains and rivers remain the same for ages, but Sun Zhongmou, the hero of the cutthroat country, is nowhere to be found. Whether it is the prosperous dance pavilion, or the hero's charm, it is always blown away by the merciless wind and rain.
From "Yongyoule - Jingkou Beigu Pavilion Huaigu", a song written by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji.
Original text:
"Yongyoule? Jingkou Beigu Pavilion Huaigu"
Song? Xin Qiji
Thousands of years of rivers and mountains, heroes are not found, Sun Zhongmou place.
The "Dancing Pavilion" is a place where the wind and the rain blow away the wind.
The sun is shining, the grass is growing, and the streets are full of unusual people,
The people have been living in the house.
Thinking of the days when I was a jingoist and an iron horse and swallowed ten thousand miles like a tiger.
Yuanjia, who was a wolf in the sky,
won a hasty look northward.
Forty-three years ago, I still remember the fire on Yangzhou Road.
When I look back, under the Buddhist Temple,
a piece of God's crows and social drums.
Who is going to ask, "Is Lian Po old enough to eat?

Translation:
After thousands of years of rivers and mountains, it is no longer difficult to find a hero like Sun Quan. The dance halls and singing platforms of the past are still there, but the heroes have long since disappeared with the passage of time. The slanting sun shines on an ordinary alley full of grass and trees, which people say was the place where Liu Yu used to live. I think back to the time when he was leading the northern expedition and recovering the lost territory, how powerful he was!
But Liu Yu's son, Liu Yilong, was too ambitious and hasty in his northern expedition, but instead he let the Northern Wei Dynasty's Taiwu Emperor Tuoba To take advantage of the opportunity to wield his army to the south, and returned to the northern bank of the Yangtze River, where he suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of his rivals. I returned to the south has been forty-three years, looking at the original still remember Yangzhou around the beacon of war scene.
How can I look back ah, when the people outside of Tuoba's palace was actually there to worship, crows pecked at the offerings, people live a social day, only as a god to worship him, and do not know that this was once an emperor's palace. Who else would ask, "Is Lian Po old, and does he eat well?
The author wrote this lyric with deep concern and a sense of grief. In the first part, he praises Sun Quan, who established his dominance in Jingkou, and Liu Yu, who led his army in the northern expedition to swallow up the hu-cou, and expresses his wish to be like them, to make achievements for the country with his golden spears and iron horses. The next piece satirizes Liu Yilong to show that he firmly advocates the fight against the Jin Dynasty but opposes the position and attitude of advancing to the wrong side of the country. The whole word is magnificent and sad, righteous and deep, radiating the ideological glory of patriotism. The use of the dictionary in the words is apt and natural, closely related to the purpose of the theme, which enhances the persuasive power of the work and the beauty of the mood.
After Xin Qiji was transferred to Zhenjiang, he climbed to the Beigu Pavilion, lamented the disappointment of not being able to serve his country, and wrote this piece that has been sung for thousands of years as he looked into the distance and remembered the past. The lyrics are well-written, with multiple themes of nostalgia, sadness, and aspiration. The river and the mountains are ancient, and I want to look for the heroes of the year, but I can't, the starting tone is extraordinary. In the beginning of the poem, the scenery is used to express emotions, and the scene in front of us reminds us of two famous historical figures, Sun Quan and Liu Yu, and expresses our longing for their heroic achievements.
Next, he satirizes the current administrator, Han 侂胄 (侂：tuō, 胄：zhòu), who, like Liu Yilong, is hasty in his attempts to wield his army for the northern expedition, which is a cause for concern. Old age and the court will not use himself, can not help but look up to the sky and sigh. Among them, "Under the Beaver Shrine, a piece of God's crows and drums" is the most sorrowful one, writing about the feeling that the northern part of the country is no longer the land of the Song Dynasty.
The first part of the song remembers Sun Quan and Liu Yu. Sun Quan, who ruled the southeast, repelled Cao's army; Liu Yu, who was a great warrior and recovered the lost land. The first part of the song not only praises the historical figures, but also expresses the expectation of the warring faction and the irony and condemnation of those who seek peace in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The next piece cites the historical fact that Liu Yilong's hasty northern expedition in the Southern Dynasty resulted in a great defeat, and advises Han to learn from the lessons of history and not to engage in recklessness, and then uses the changes in the situation of the forty-three years of the Jin resistance to indicate that the lyricist's determination to recover the Central Plains remains unchanged, and the concluding three sentences, borrowing from Lian Po to compare himself to the lyricist, expresses the lyricist's strong desire to serve the country and the lament of the Song dynasty's failure to enter the use of talent.
The whole word is magnificent and sad, righteous and deep, radiating the ideological glory of patriotism. The use of diction in the words is apt and natural, closely related to the purpose of the theme, which enhances the persuasive power of the work and the beauty of the mood. Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty said in "Words", "Xin's words should be the first in Jingkou Beigu Pavilion Huaigu Yongyoule." This evaluation is pertinent.
