Original text:

Youzhou tower

Tang Dynasty: Chen Ziang

No one can see the ancient wisdom of the ancient king, only those wise men who can't see the afterlife can see it.

Only the boundless universe, boundless, can't stop the tears full of sadness.

There was no wise monarch in the past, and there will be no wise monarch in the future. I can't stop crying at the thought of the vastness of heaven and earth.

The poet suffered many setbacks and saw his ambition to serve the country dashed, so he boarded Jibei Tower and generously wrote Youzhou Tower. This poem describes the poet's lonely and depressed mood, which is particularly touching, comfortable to read and lingering.
