Sui Palace (Riding South Without Precautions)
The Sui Palace
Li Shangyin
In heedless pleasure he toured the south, no guard arrayed;
Who in the palace depths heeded the counsel that was laid?
Through spring winds all the land was cutting brocade for the court—
Half to make mudguards for horses, and half for sails to be wrought.

九重誰省諫書函
春風舉國裁宮錦
半作障泥半作帆
