(平水韵十一真)
万里秋途一笑春,古来雁字读来新。
云涯在处天涯客,月界周边梦界人。
执剑依然宁执手,翻波只为敢翻身。
东方未白何方白?昨夜飞花晓出尘。

Shenzhou is the Divine Land.
Physically, it is where Chinese call home.
Spiritually, it commands respect and beckons pilgrimage.
Poetically, it is the fountainhead of aesthetic ideas embraced by every homesick bard.
Shenzhou matters because China's humanistic tradition matters---especially in times of self-imposed cynicism.
