Poetry:

Ode to the Yellow River

I stood on the top of a high mountain and watched the Yellow River roll eastward.

Tao Jin is surging, setting off a huge wave;

Turbid flow turns around and forms a zigzag chain;

From the foot of Kunlun Mountain to the edge of the Yellow Sea,

Split the Central Plains in two.

Ah! Yellow River!

You are the cradle of our nation!

Five thousand years of ancient culture originated from you;

How many heroic stories are staged around you!

Ah! Yellow River!

You are great and strong, appearing on the plains of Asia like a giant.

You built a barrier for our country with that hero's body.

Ah! Yellow River!

You pour down thousands of feet, majestic, and thousands of iron arms extend to the north and south sides.

The great spirit of our nation,

Will grow under your cultivation!

Heroes and sons and daughters of our motherland,

Will learn from you,

As great and strong as you!

As great and strong as you!
