From the Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi's "Leaving the City", the original text is:
From forbidden to forbidden, at dusk. Needless to say, the east of the city is a stranger and Jiangnan Road.
Spur the horses and chariots and wave goodbye to relatives and friends. I was born without a hometown, and my peace of mind is where I belong.
Translation:
Return from the Forbidden City in the morning and go out from Chang 'an East in the evening. No longer say that the path in the east of the city is tortuous. The place to go on this trip is Jiangnan Road (now Jiangxi Province).
The horses and chariots are ready to raise their whips on the road and wave goodbye to their relatives and hometown. I was born without a fixed place, as long as it is a calm place, it is my home.
