千 古 风 流 八 咏 楼
江 山 留 与 后 人 愁。                                                                                             水 通 南 国 三 千 里
气 压 江 城 士 四 州。

Jiang shan liu yu hou ren chou.                                                                                                Shui tong nan guo san qian li
Qi ya jiang cheng shi si zhou.
