Emperor Song Taizu: Your Pay And Your Great Fortune (So Gathered In Stealth) -- these Are Fruits Of 宋太宗 爾俸爾祿，民膏民脂，下民易虐，上天難欺。
Your pay and your great fortune
-- by Emperor Song Taizu (? - 410)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
Your pay and your great fortune (so gathered in stealth) --
These are fruits of the people's just harvest, their wealth.
Easy to abuse lowly people without love,
But, it is difficult to cheat Heaven above.
(Above Motto inscribed in stone.)
宋太宗「誡石銘」
爾俸爾祿，民膏民脂，
下民易虐，上天難欺。
