   • 廣開兮天門，
     紛吾乘兮玄雲。

     广开兮天门，
     纷吾乘兮玄云。
     令飘风兮先驱，
     使𰛒雨兮洒尘。

     From: The Verses of Chu, 4^th century BCE – 2^nd century CE

     Guǎngkāi xī tiānmén,
     Fēn wú chéng xī xuányún.
     Lìng piāofēng xī xiānqū,
     Shǐ dōngyǔ xī sǎ chén.

     Wide open is the Gate of Heaven;
     Chaotically I ride the dark clouds.
     I command the whirl-winds to advance;
     I order the torrential rain to sprinkle the dust.
