Poems of Jiayuguan

1, Guan Shanyue

A round of moon rises from the Qilian mountains, through the vast sea of clouds.

The mighty wind blows tens of thousands of miles, passing through the Yumen pass.

That year, Han soldiers pointed to baideng mountain road, Tubo coveted Qinghai vast territory.

This is the land of war in the past dynasties, few soldiers can survive.

The garrison soldiers looked into the remote border town, and his hometown could not help but look sad.

The wife of the soldiers at the high tower, Lament when can see distant relatives.

2, the plug-Wang Zhihuan

The Yellow River is far above the white clouds,

Wan Ren Mountain is an isolated city.

Why should Qiangdi blame the willows?

The spring breeze does not pass Yumen Pass.

3. Stuffed with Hu Su

The arrows of the Han family set the Tianshan Mountains, and the fireworks faced Wan Li.

Qi Li invited Meng Jin Bi wine, and the general returned to Yumenguan.

When the clouds sink, the demon atmosphere breaks, and the snow shines back to the middle exploration for leisure.

The five baits have done Wang Daosheng, and there is no Diao Dou to Yan.
