Features: New tunes for the pipa, no need for Shi Chong; miscellaneous pieces for the konghou, not related to Cao Zhi. Passing on the art of playing the guqin to the Yang family, learning the flute from the Qin maidens. As for the favor of hearing the music at Changle, Empress Chen felt injustice; painting celestial fairies, the concubine admired them from afar. Regarding the charming smile of the eastern neighbor, serving in the changing room; the subtle frown of Xi Shi, gaining favor in the armored tent. Accompanied by the emperor in leisurely outings, displaying their slender waists in the wind; Changle's mandarin ducks, playing new melodies in the measured tunes. Dressing in thin hairpieces like cicadas, their hair adorned with falling horsehair. Reversely pulling gold hairpins, horizontally drawing jade trees. The southern capital's stone dye, painting double eyebrows on hair; the northern land's almond rouge, opening two cheeks.
