Inscriptions

長城東起老龍頭，嘉峪臨洮去不留。此是金甌無缺處，海疆威鎮二千秋。山海關一首，學仲自書詩。\r\n\r\nTranslation:\r\nHere is where the Great Wall begins from the east;\r\nTo Jiayu and Linyao we go and cannot stay.\r\nHere is wehre the golden tiles have no blemishes on them;\r\nWhere the coastal line, in full authority, reigned for two thousand years.\r\nOne poem written and Shanhai Guan, by Xuezhong himself.
