The Yellow River is far above the white clouds.
Wan Ren is an isolated city.
Why should a strong brother complain about willow?
The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.

The yellow sand rolled up by the wind seems to be connected with white clouds.
Yumenguan stands alone in the mountains and looks lonely and cold.
Why do you want to play the sad song "Folding Willow" with Qiangdi? Yumenguan generation has no willow fold!
It turns out that the spring breeze around Yumenguan can't blow! [6]
