From Wang Wei's "To the Frontier" in the Tang Dynasty, the original text is:
Riding a bike to visit the border and passing through Juyan County. Pengpeng also floated out of Korea, and the geese heading north also flew into the sky.
The vast desert is lonely, and the Yellow River sets the yen. When I arrived at the small pass, I met a spy waiting for the knight and told me that Dou Hu was in Yan.
Translation:
I want to go to the border crossing by bike, and the country I pass by has passed my residence. Thousands of miles of cornices also floated out of Sai Han, and the geese heading north soared in the sky.
Solitary smoke goes straight to the vast desert, and the sunset on the endless Yellow River is round. When you meet detective knight in Xiaoguan, tell me that Duhu is already in Yanran.

Creative background:
In the 24th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (736), Tubo sent troops to attack Little Bolu in the Tang Dynasty (in present-day north Kashmir). In the spring of the 25th year of Kaiyuan (737), Cui, our envoy from Hexi, defeated the Tubo army in the west.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appointed Wang Weifeng Liangzhou as the censor, went out to the fortress to comfort himself and inspect the military situation, and served as our ambassador in Hexi, which actually pushed Wang Wei out of the court. This poem was written on the way to the fortress.
