Yu Ji replied to Xiang Yu's poem "Gaixiage".

"He Gaixia Song"

The Han soldiers have captured the territory, and there are songs of Chu on all sides.

The king is exhausted③, how can I live a low life④!

Notes:

①Abbreviation: occupy, occupy.

②Four sides: One is "four directions".

③Yi Qi: Will and spirit.

④Liaosheng: living reluctantly and living an ignoble existence.

Translation:

The army of Han King Liu Bang has captured the land of Chu, and the sad sounds of Chu are heard from all directions.

My king, your heroism and strong will have been exhausted, why should I still live in an ignoble existence!
