The path leading to Cheung Chau has been covered with thorns, and the hunting place of the King of Wu is also covered with barren hills and creeping weeds. The Wu Palace, which was once luxurious and rich, is no longer prosperous, and only hate Taiwan lingers in the ruins. During the reign of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, all kinds of perverse actions were enough to subjugate the country, which had nothing to do with his family. There are many harem beauties.

Appreciating "Looking Back on the Past with Martial Arts" is a four-line poem. The extravagance and waste of the first two poems will inevitably lead to ruin-Wu's Guanwa Palace and Changzhou Garden are now full of thorns; The once extravagant life in the martial arts palace is now only miserable.

Fu Cha, the king of Wu, died because everything he did laid the groundwork for his death. He was helpless, not because he was as beautiful as a fairy, but because he could bewitch Fu Cha more than the concubines in the Sixth Palace, which led to national subjugation. The culprit of national subjugation is the emperor, and empresses only add fuel to the fire. These two poems clarify the causal relationship between Wu's subjugation and attack the argument that "it is difficult for women to subjugate the country".
