Loki Ocean, Wen Tianxiang.
Seamount fairy country, meet to send lonely eaves.
Vientiane painting, a thousand cliffs and jade circles.
The wind shakes the spring waves, and the reef excites the dusk tide.
The southeast is overcast with clouds and blue sky.
Translation:
Xiangshan Luanjiao Ocean is a fairyland-like place. I came here by chance and met it on a lonely boat. Everything here is like a wonderful picture, and thousands of cliff stone carvings stand in the sea like jasper. At the beginning of spring breeze, the sea rises with the waves; The high tide in the evening impacts the rocks in the sea and stirs up the magnificent landscape. Looking at the southeast, there are dense clouds at the moment. I believe that soon, dragons will fly in the air and swim in the blue sky.

Wen Tianxiang, whose real name is Song Rui, whose name is Wenshan, was born in Luling, Jizhou, Jiangxi Province. He was a politician, writer, patriotic poet, and a famous anti-Yuan minister at the end of the Song Dynasty. Together with Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie, he was also called "the three outstanding figures at the end of the Song Dynasty". Wen Tianxiang is enthusiastic about serving the country, but the emperor is fatuous and treacherous court official is in power, so he can't be reused. 1274, Lin' an was in an emergency, and Wen Tianxiang used up all his money to organize an uprising army, so he rushed to Lin' an, which was difficult for the enemy. Empress Xie insisted on surrendering, sent him to negotiate with the Yuan Dynasty, and escaped after being detained.
He continued to lead a crusade against Yuan, was defeated and captured, and died in Dadu in 1283. Wen Tianxiang was appointed as a book signing judge in the year of Kai Qingyuan. When the Yuan army attacked Ezhou, eunuch Dong advocated moving the capital to avoid soldiers. Wen Tianxiang wrote to Song Ting to build a local defense, choose a good soldier from the militia, and make an exception to choose generals. And asked Dong to kill him, which shocked people's hearts, but he was not adopted, resigned and returned to his hometown.
