Mawei Slope (Zheng Tian)
The Emperor Xuanzong turned his horse back; Consort Yang died.
Cloud and rain could not be forgotten, yet the sun and moon brought new days.
After all, it was the deed of a sagacious Son of Heaven—
What then of the man who was left in the well of Jingyang Palace?
馬嵬坡 (鄭畋)
玄宗回馬楊妃死，
雲雨難忘日月新。
終是聖明天子事，
景陽宮井又何人？
