Tang Liyi once wrote a poem:
An amnesty for the emperor's reform of Danfeng Gate and the construction of Yuan Jianzhong
Find Tong Tong,six dragons negative sunrise door.
Phoenix flying title Dilu,said I million generation gold emperor sun.
Spirit chicken inspired day amnesty,Gao Xiang 100 feet hanging Zhu flags.
Chen Mu Qing by the day calendar,jianzhong jiazi yuan.
Haovault King life is already to,the king is to pay the universe.
In the completion of the answer Xuan,mud gold check Yu Zhaohong en.
The matter of the Yunting can be written down,seventy-two Jun preferred alone.
Small minister to the Zen table,long and not to the garden.
