Chen Ziang on Youzhou Tower in Tang Dynasty.
Second, the original text
No one can see the ancient wisdom of the ancient king, only those wise men who can't see the afterlife can see it.
Only the boundless universe, boundless, can't stop the tears full of sadness.
Three. translate
I have never seen an ancient holy king in the past, and I will never see a wise monarch in the future.
Thinking of the distance between heaven and earth, I felt more sad and sad, and cried alone.
