以敦煌為圓心的東北東

With Dun Huang(1) as the east northeast of this center of the globe

這民族的海岸線像一支弓

This people’s coastline is shaped like a bow

那長城像五千年來待射的夢
na chang cheng xiang wu qian nian lai dai she de meng
That Great Wall is like the dawning of a dream after five thousand years of silence.

我用手臂拉開這整個土地的重

I use my arms to lift this whole land’s weight.

蒙古高原南下的風 寫些什麼內容

跨越黃河 東 登上泰山頂 峰

我向西 引北風 曬成一身古銅

I turn west, lead the northern wind, take in the sun till my body’s bronze.

# 渴望著血脈相通 無限個千萬弟兄
# ke wang zhe xie mai xiang tong wu xian ge qian wan di xiong
#Crave the blood ties that bind us— Infinite thousands upon ten thousands of brothers.

我把天地拆封 將長江水掏空

The people of the ancient riverbeds are transforming!

My right fist opens the heavens! Transform into the dragon!

把 山河重新移動 填平裂縫

Set the mountains and rivers in motion anew, fill in the chasms to level things out.

將 東方的日出 調整了時空

One day the rising star of the East will shake space and time.

回到洪荒 去支配 去操縱

Return to the primeval. Go conquer! Go take control!

我 右拳打開了天 化身為龍

My right fist opens the heavens! Transform into the dragon!

那 大地心臟洶湧 不安跳動

The whole world is left with only one thought:

等待英雄 我就是那條龍
deng dai ying xiong wo jiu shi na tiao long
Waiting for a hero… I am that dragon.

Buddhism was introduced to China along this route and some monks settled in grottoes at Dun Huang. The grottoes date from around 350 C.E., and are filled with Buddhist paintings and sculptures.
