Crying Liu Fan
Li Shangyin
God’s palace is closed for nine periods, and Wu Xian cannot stop asking for his grievances . After the farewell to Guangling, the spring waves separated, and the autumn rain came to turn over the books in Penpu.
Only Anren can perform edicts, and how could Song Yujie summon souls? I have been loyal and mentor all my life, and I dare not sleep with you in tears.

The Emperor of Heaven is high above and the gates of heaven are tightly closed, let alone sending a magician down to earth to ask Liu Fan about your grievances. Since we parted in Huangling last spring, we have been separated by the surging river and have never seen each other again. After we said goodbye, what awaited us was the sad news that you had died in Xunyang. At this time, I can only write condolences like Pan Yue, but I cannot summon your soul and bring you back to life. Liu Di, you have been a noble and upright person in your life, and you are both a teacher and a friend to me. I dare not join you, let alone mourn the dead outside my bed.
