The whole song: 大风起兮云飞扬,威加海内兮归故乡,安得猛士兮守四方! 'A great wind rises, the clouds fly high. My might covers all within the seas, and I come home. Where will I find brave men to guard the four quarters?' The Records of the Grand Historian tell that 刘邦 sang it at a feast in Pei, beating time on a zhu zither, with a chorus of 120 local boys, a few months before he died.
