九州生气恃风雷,万马齐喑究可哀。我劝天公重抖擞,不拘一格降人才。· From wind and thunder comes a nation's vital force. | What a great pity not to hear a neighing horse! | I urge the Lord of Heaven to brace up again | And send down talents of all kinds to the Central Plain.
(Gong Zizhen [1792-1841]: “Miscellanies of the Year 1839 [No.125]”)
