The original text and translation notes of Su Wu Muyang are as follows:
Original text
Su Wu served as the Han envoy to the Xiongnu, and as the Chan Yuliu, he entrusted Wei Lv to rule them. Despite all kinds of threats and temptations, Wu finally refused to give in. Wei Lu knew that Wu Zhong could not be threatened, and Bai Shanyu was defeated. Shanyu wanted to surrender, but he was in the Youwu cellar and never ate or drank. It rains and snows in the sky, and the snow is swallowed together with the felt wool, and it lasts for several days. The Xiongnu thought they were gods, so they moved to Wubei Sea to an uninhabited place to herd cattle.
Said: The milk is returned. When Wu arrived at the North Sea, he could not find any food, so he dug out the caches of wild rats and ate them. Shepherding sheep on the Day of the Stick Han, lying down and reciting ancient beautiful love poems, all the restraints are gone.

Translation
Su Wu was sent to the Xiongnu as an envoy of the Han Dynasty, but was detained by the Chanyu and asked Wei Lu to deal with him. Wei Lu tried all kinds of threats and temptations, but Su Wu refused to give in in the end. Wei Lu knew that Su Wu could not threaten him to surrender after all, so he reported it to Shan Yu.
The Chan Yu wanted to make Su Wu surrender even more, so he imprisoned Su Wu in a big cellar and refused to give him anything to drink or eat. When it snowed, Su Wu ate the snow and swallowed it together with the felt wool to satisfy his hunger. After a few days, the snow did not pass away. The Huns thought he was a god, so they exiled Su Wu to a deserted place by the North Sea and asked him to herd rams, saying that they would not let him return home until the rams gave birth to lambs.
After Su Wu came to Beihai, the Huns could not transport food, so they could only eat wild fruits stored by wild rats. Su Wu held a staff representing the Han Dynasty while shepherding sheep. He held it while sleeping and getting up, causing all the yak tail hair on the staff to fall off.
