1. "Cui Xianghuan in Prison"
Huma crossed the Luoshui River, and blood flowed to conquer the battlefield.
Thousands of doors are closed in the autumn scenery, and thousands of people are named Wei Chaoshuang.
The virtuous ministers will replenish their vitality and enjoy the prosperity of Hai County.
There is a Kui dragon in the courtyard, lined with charms.
The three-dimensional sage with wings shines on the two suns.
I should remember that under the raspberries, the snow weeps and worships the light of the sky.
2. Translation of "Shang Cui Xianghuan in Prison"
Hu Ma from Anlu Mountain crossed the Luoshui River, and the battlefield was covered with blood. Thousands of gates are closed, and the autumn scenery is bleak. The people are in danger like morning dew, and their lives are precarious. Xian Xiang, you harmonize the vitality of the imperial court and bring happiness to the world.
The imperial court has a good minister like you, and the shrewd and capable generals will be listed in the line. Protecting the Three-Yuan Saint, reflecting the two suns.
You should remember that under the raspberries in Xunyang Prison, there is a bird wiping its tears, waiting for the great grace of heaven.

There are more than twenty allusions in the whole poem, including ancient myths, historical stories, celebrity anecdotes, idioms and aphorisms, etc., all of which can be considered as poems, and they all appear to be very accurate and appropriate.
