《水浒》的开篇：
纷纷五代乱离间，一旦云开复见天! 草木百年新雨露，车书万里旧江山。
寻常巷陌陈罗绮，几处楼台奏管弦。天下太平无事日，莺花无限日高眠。
After Five Dynasties’ turmoil and strife,
The clouds dispersed and revealed the sky,
Refreshing rain brought old trees new life,
Culture and learning once again were high.
Ordinary folk in the lanes wore silk,
Music drifted from mansions and towers,
Under the heavens all was serene,
Men dozed off at noon midst gay birds and flowers.
