Chinese Small Wander

學而時習之，不亦悅乎？有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？人不知而不慍，不亦君子乎？. . .

折戟沈沙鐵未銷
自將磨洗認前朝
東風不與周郎便
銅雀春深銷二喬

唐詩

Du Mu : The Red Cliff

We dig out broken halberds buried in the sand

- And wash and rub these relics of an ancient war.

Had the east wind refused General Zhou a helping hand,

- His foe'd have locked his fair wife on Northern shore.
