Hymn to the Goose
Luo Binwang( Tang )
Honk, honk, and honk,
With upward neck thou to the sky loudly sing.
Thy white feathers float on the water green,
Thy red webs push the crystal waves with a swing.

A View of the Waterfall of Mount LU
Li Bai(Tang)
From tile sunlit Incense Burner rises a purple smoke
While the water hangs down as stream in view
It rushes as far down as three thousand feet
I wonder can it be the galaxy falling from the sky.
The Tomb-visiting Day
Du Mu (Tang)
The ceaseless drizzles drips all the dismal day,
So broken-hearted fares the traveler on the way.
When asked where could be found a tavern bower,
A cowboy points to yonder village of the apricot flower.
[Chinese Idioms And Fables] The fox borrows the tiger's ferocity
The fox borrows the tiger's ferocity One day, a tiger caught a fox and was about to devour it. The quick-witted fox stopped the tiger, saying: "How dare you eat me? You should know that I was sent by the heavens to be the king of beasts. If you don't believe me, come with me and see for yourself that there is not animal that isn't afraid of me!"

An Inscription on the Wall of Xilin Temple
Su Shi (Song)
The sidelong ranges become steep peaks in a vertical view,
The scenes so vary when seen from high or low, from far or near.
The genuine features of Lushan Mountain are strange to you,
Because your situation is within this mountain's bounding sphere.
