I remember the verse from \"The Stratagem to Seize the Birthday Gifts\": 1. Zhu Rong comes from the south, whipping the fire dragons; flames from the fire banners burn the sky red. The sun remains fixed at midday, and all nations seem to be within a red furnace. The clouds over the Five Sacred Mountains vanish; in the depths of the sea, the Prince of Yang feels sorrow as the waves cease. When will a golden breeze arise in one night, to sweep away the heat from the whole world for me?
The hot steam is oppressive, and the dust fills the air. The vast universe is like a steamer pot, with a fiery sun in the sky. The sky is cloudless everywhere; the wind howls as waves surge like boiling sea ； A thousand mountains ablaze will surely reduce rocks to ashes. The birds in the sky are doomed to perish; they fall headlong into the depths of the forest ； The fish-dragon’s scales and horns fall off at the bottom of the water, and it ends up buried in the mud. It makes Shi Hu gasp for breath without cease; even an iron man must sweat.
