山外青山楼外楼,西湖歌舞几时休。暖风熏得游人醉,直把杭州作汴州。· Hills rise beyond green hills; towers beyond high towers. |When will West Lake end its singing and dancing hours? |The revelers are drunk with vernal breeze and leisure; |They'd seek in the new capital for their lost pleasure.
(Lin Sheng [of the Southern Song Dynasty]:“Written at the New Capital”)
