Celebrated since ancient times, the Tower of Eight Odes! Yet its rivers and hills now bequeath sorrow to later generations. The waters here flow through three thousand Southland miles, the tower’s aura dominates fourteen Yangzi River prefectures.

Inscribed on Tower of Eight Odes
Celebrated since ancient times, the Tower of Eight Odes!
Yet its rivers and hills now bequeath sorrow to later generations.
The waters here flow through three thousand Southland miles,
the tower’s aura dominates fourteen Yangzi River prefectures.
