To Zhou Shizhao
Stone walls will stand across the western river,
To hold back Wushan's clouds and rain,
And a smooth lake will rise in the towering gorge.
The Goddess of the Peak, still unharmed, would marvel at the changed world.
I will not go abroad for the time being. Your opinions are correct.
Best regards!
