Explanation
This poem, written in Chinese characters in the style of a seven-character quatrain, is titled “Borrowing Rhymes from the Poem of the Smoking Cessation Association for National Debt Repayment.” It reads: “As all in the eight provinces share the same spirit / They speak the same thing where smoking is gone; / Even as we follow Qin customs in pursuit of wealth / We will read history and respect the ways of Lu.”
