Appreciation of the original text and translation of Zhang Lei's "Reading the Zhongxing Monument/Reading the Zhongxing Ode Monument"

Read the Zhongxing Monument/Read the original text of the Zhongxing Ode Monument:

There is no one to sweep away the blood of the Yuhuan demon, and the Yuyang horse hates the Chang'an grass. The bones of the Tongguan battle are higher than the mountains, and the king of thousands of miles is old in Shu. The warriors came from the west, and the Duke of Guo was a hero. Raise the flag for the wind and rain, and sweep the nine temples free of dust. Who is the master of Yuan Dynasty? If he is elegant and elegant, he will die. The water department has stars in its chest, and the Taishi's pen has dragon and snake characters. God sent his two sons to say that in the future, there will be mountains ten feet high and blue cliffs. Who brings this tablet into my room? It makes me dizzy and open my eyes at the first sight. After a hundred years of ups and downs, I am filled with emotion. Where are my children now? Don't you see, the desolate water is not collected, and tourists often make monuments and sell them.
