- The following five-character regulated verse, one of two entitled "Twelfth Month, Sixth Day,"²⁸ was written by Yuan Hao-wen while under house arrest in Liao-chʻeng.
The empire still full of arms,
At this edge of the world, the year again renewed.
The dragon has shifted, leaving fish and turtles lost;
The sun eclipsed, unicorns are fighting.
Brambles amid grasses, these desolate hills are snowy;
In my old garden, mist and flowers mark the spring.
Here in Liao-chʻeng, a moon out tonight,
I feel disconsolate still away from home.
