The king complained.

But Guihong can't speak,

Once a year to Gangnam.

         Zhongyuan fathers and fellow villagers did not say anything polite, and when they met me, the emissary of the Song Dynasty court, they told me about the suffering of the oppression of the Jin Dynasty. However, although the geese cannot speak, they can fly to Jiangnan once a year.

        In the sixteenth year of Chunxi (1189), in the month of La, the Jin people sent emissaries to the Southern Song Dynasty to celebrate the New Year, and Yang Wanli was ordered to greet the emissaries of the Jin Dynasty, crossing the Huai River is the hinterland of the former Northern Song Dynasty, but now it belongs to the Jin Kingdom, and four poems are written because of the sadness of touching the scenery. This is the fourth track.

        The first two sentences of the poem say that zhongyuan fathers and elders met the emissaries of the Song dynasty court and told them about the pain of not being able to bear the oppression of the Jin Dynasty.
