[Poetic Essence]

The exterior is inscribed with Lu You’s most evocative verses, reflecting the resilience and sorrow of a scholar-official during times of national turmoil.

1. 《十一月四日風雨大作》 (Written on a Windy, Rainy Day)

Original: 夜闌臥聽風吹雨, 鐵馬冰河入夢來.

Translation: "Listening to the wind and rain in the dead of night, I dream of charging across frozen rivers on horseback."

2. 《書憤》 (Written in Resentment)

Original: 塞上長城空自許, 鏡中衰鬢已先斑.

Translation: "I vainly pledged to be the Great Wall of the frontier, but my hair has turned gray in the mirror before achieving my goal."

3. 《臨安春雨初霽》 (Spring Rain in Lin'an)

Original: 小樓一夜聽春雨, 深巷明朝賣杏花.

Translation: "I listened to the spring rain all night in my small tower; tomorrow, flower peddlers will shout in the deep alleys."

4. 《秋夜將曉出籬門迎涼有感》 (Reflections at Dawn)

Original: 遺民淚盡胡塵裏, 南望王師又一年.

Translation: "The abandoned people have wept dry tears in the land of the invaders; we look south for the imperial army, year after year."
