Only the boundless universe, boundless, can't stop the tears full of sadness. The "Youzhoutai" in the poem is also called Jibei Building, so the address is in Daxing District of Beijing today.

3. Yandou: During the Warring States Period, it was named Yan because it was close to the Yanshan Mountains. Today's Beijing used to be the capital of Yan, so later generations took "Yan Dou" as another name for Beijing, which derived some titles such as Yantai, Yancheng and Yanshi.
