The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den () is a 92-character modern poem written in Classical Chinese by Yuen Ren Chao (1892–1982), in which every syllable has the sound ''shi'' (in different tones) when read in modern Mandarin Chinese. It is a noted example of a one-syllable article, a form of constrained writing unique to Chinese. ==Text== The following is the text in Hanyu Pinyin, Gwoyeu Romatzyh, and Chinese traditional/simplified characters. Pinyin orthography recommends writing Chinese numbers in Arabic numerals, so the number ' () would be written as 10. To preserve the homophony in this case, the number 10 has also been spelled out in Pinyin. ;Pinyin ' ;Gwoyeu Romatzyh ' ;Simplified Chinese ;Traditional Chinese ;Translation :« Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den » :In a stone den was a poet with the family name Shi, who was a lion addict, and had resolved to eat ten lions. :He often went to the market to look for lions. :At ten o'clock, ten lions had just arrived at the market. :At that time, Shi had just arrived at the market. :He saw those ten lions, and using his trusty arrows, caused the ten lions to die. :He brought the corpses of the ten lions to the stone den. :The stone den was damp.
