An ancient poem. A poem praising Li Keyong of the Later Tang Dynasty and his son Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang.
Sanzhuigang [2]
A hero rose on horseback from the Shatuo tribe,
What could he do against the Zhu Liang rebels?
One hand alone could hardly uphold the Tang altars,
Yet linked cities still held the mountains and rivers of Jin.
Amid wind and cloud, a remarkable son stood by his tent;
Before drum and horn by lamplight, old tears fell in streams.
On the bleak and desolate road below Sanzhuigang,
To this day people still sing the song of a hundred years.

[1] Li Keyong, a member of the Shatuo tribe during the Tang Dynasty, was once enfeoffed as Prince of Jin. Later, his son Li Cunxu established the Later Tang Dynasty, and he was honored as Taizu.
[2] The poem *Sanzhuigang* was written by Yan Suicheng, a poet of the Qing Dynasty. Mao Zedong wrote it in the blank space on the last page of this issue of *Propaganda and Education Trends*.
