  From: 806: Bai Juyi, Song of Everlasting Regret
  Hàn huáng zhòng sè sī qīngguó, yùyǔ duō nián qiú bùdé.
  A certain emperor of the Han dynasty placed a premium on his dalliances, and longed for a beauty who could lay low an empire. He ruled his empire for many years without finding such a beauty.

Notes

^ A reference to the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, whose relationship to Yang Guifei brought to mind the Emperor Wu of Han's relationship to his concubine, Consort Li. Bai Juyi would have considered it unpoetic to refer to his subject directly.
