The east wind blows water and the sun nibbles the mountain. I have constantly
enjoyed leisure since the Spring arrived. The fallen flowers are disorderly. The
wine is gone. Music and drunken dreams are my entertainment.
The jade ornaments on my girdle quiet down. My evening adornments have faded.
Who will style my hair bun? I am enchanted by the scenery and treasure my youth.
I lean against the banister alone at sunset.

King Zheng was the seventh son of Middle King Li. Cong-shan was King
Zheng's first name. In 671 A.D., King Zheng was sent on a mission to the Song
dynasty. He was detained by Emperor Tai. Last King Li had a close fraternal bond
with King Zheng. Yu Li often climbed a mountain to gaze to the north. His tears
fell and soaked his clothes. He wrote a poem "Climbing the Mountain". It says,
"Originally, pigeons fly in company. /I wonder why my younger brother has not
returned." His tone is mournful and touches one's heart deeply.
