Heine's poem is "Loreley", which tells the legend of the Banshee Stone on the Rhine River. The fishermen coming and going were so greedy for its beauty that their boats ran aground and everyone died. . Zhu Ziqing also mentioned this banshee stone in his "Miscellaneous Notes on Travels in Europe" in 1933, and transcribed the first chapter translated in ancient Chinese by his friend Gan Kechao:
The rumors are still lingering, why am I heartbroken? miserable.
The sunset is hidden between the two peaks, and the Rhine flows endlessly.
There is a beautiful woman on the peak, dazzling and golden.
When she sings a clear song, the remaining sound reaches into the clouds.
Listening and gazing again, the boatman forgets where he is going.
Strange rocks stand in the stream, and both people and the boat are lost.
