The orioles on the leaves, the silent thatched huts, are gone, along with the former ruler and his ministers. The swallows of the Wang and Xie families, the taverns along the Qinhuai River—waves have washed away the heroes. The old have passed away seven times, and the new have arrived. The nomadic cavalry gallops, the foreign tribes compete, each carving out their own territories. A brief period of peace emerges, but chaos soon follows, leaving travelers with the sorrow of the "Sorrow of Leaving the Homeland." However, division and fragmentation do not merely signify turbulence and darkness. With flowing sleeves, they are magnanimous and disdainful of the world—the demeanor of the scholars leaves later generations in admiration. The spirit of Jian'an, folk songs of the Yuefu—literature sets a new trend for its time. The south gradually declines, while the north's wind rises. Amid the surging tides of the era, history will eventually find its exit.
