The generals on the border are rushing (chěng running) soldiers, poisoning the country and causing chaos, and all living beings lose peace.

The murderer is against the concubine (the same kind of chóu), and the world is resting, and life and death are shameful. Merits are respected, loyalty and martyrdom are remembered, and descendants are spread. With the rise of great virtue, the mountains are high and the sun is rising, and all blessings are Ying (yīng bear, responsibility).
