Pure Melody (Famous flowers and a beautiful land complement each other)

Fair flower and beguiling beauty—delight of each other,

Ever they bring a smile to the sovereign's face.

They dispel boundless sorrows like the spring breeze,

At the pavilion of aloes wood, leaning against the northern railing.

清平調 (名花傾國兩相歡)

名花傾國兩相歡,長得君王帶笑看。

觧釋春風無限恨,沈香亭北倚闌干。
