Autumn (Song of Xiao by Jing Ke in the Warring States Period).

Yishuige

At the end of the Warring States Period, Jing Ke.

The wind is rustling, the water is cool, and the strong men go and never return.

Explore the tiger's den, enter the dumpling palace, face upwards and exhale, and turn into Bai Hong.

Translation:

The rustling wind blew the bank of Yishui very cold, and the strong man went and never came back. Killing the king of Qin is as dangerous as going to the Dragon Palace in the den of tigers, but our heroic spirit can even form a white flood. According to the history books, Gao Jianli struck the building, and Jing Ke's elegy "The wind blows the water cold, and the strong man is gone forever" was so tragic that the listener was furious.

After singing for a while, Jing Ke looked up and sighed, and a rainbow appeared in the sky. Gao Jianli changed a tune conveniently and the music became more exciting. Jing Ke went on to sing: Explore the tiger's den, enter the Jiao Palace, exhale from the sky, and turn into Bai Hong. Taizi Dan was finally deeply moved, kneeling on the ground and offering a glass of wine to Jing Ke.

In the twentieth year of the King of Qin (227 BC), Jing Ke, who lost his old country (the small country of Wei had already been annexed), became a guest of Taizi Dan in the State of Yan. In order to stop the attack of Qin, Yan Taizi Dan asked Jing Ke to assassinate the king of Qin to seize power.
