锦 江 春 色 逐 人 来
巫 峡 清 秋 万 壑 哀。
正 忆 往 时 严 仆 鯓
共 迎 中 使 望 乡 台。
主 恩 前 后 三 持 节
军 令 分 明 数 举 杯。
西 蜀 地 形 天 下 险
安 危 须 仗 出 群 材。

Various Challenges: Two Poems: No.2
One by one people arrive in Chengdu during spring colors
I am stuck in the Xia Gorge, clear autumn in thousands of canyons.
Recall in former times, the honest General Yan
We meet and share a common vision of our hometown towers.
Three times Yan was promoted to higher positions
Army victories celebrated with wine for all of the ranks.
Western Sichuan lands critical to protect the whole country
Our safety and peace must have groups of talented warriors.
