The original text and translation of Kangxi's poem "Ode to Ten Poems of Kangxi".

I. Original text

Ten squares of blood flow into a stream, and a hundred feet of grace flow from the west.

It's midnight and I have three chickens on my back.

500 lashes, inches of skin split, six-foot hanging with two thieves.

It's terrible to be shocked by eight things, and it's amazing to cry out seven words.

Second, translation.

Redemption is accomplished through suffering and trickle. The completion of the redemption project, like the unfathomable and incalculable favor of the savior Jesus, continuously flows to all directions of the world and fills every corner of the universe.

Jesus had to follow the evil crowd in the middle of the night. Although man is weak and violates Jesus' will, he still loves the world and brings light to people with the crow of chickens.

Whips blame more than 5000 people for cracking the skin and lifting Jesus' body more than 6 feet off the ground, which is remarkable. There are also two heinous robbers crucified with Jesus, one on the left and the other on the right. The evil people planned it carefully and deliberately. In order to humiliate Jesus, they put him between thieves and robbers, side by side with gangsters, and let the wicked who came and went watch and laugh.

The strange sufferings and difficulties of Jesus shocked officials and people in all directions. Seven words later, the time has really come when Jesus' death brought ten thousand people to be saved.
