"Liangzhou Ci" is the lyrics of Liangzhou Song, not the title of a poem, but the name of a popular tune in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period, Guo Zhiyun, the Chinese ambassador to Longyou, collected a batch of western music scores and presented them to Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Xuanzong handed it to Jiao Fang to translate it into China's music score, sang it with new lyrics, and took the place names produced by these music scores as the title of the song. Later, many poets liked this tune and wrote new words for it. Therefore, many poets in the Tang Dynasty wrote Liangzhou Ci, such as Wang Zhihuan, William Wang and Zhang Ji, among which Wang Zhihuan's Liangzhou Ci, also known as Chusai, is the most famous. Liangzhou in ancient times is now Wuwei City, Gansu Province.

Liangzhou song
(Tang) Wang Zhihuan
The Yellow River is far above the white clouds.
Wan Ren is an isolated city.
Why should a strong brother complain about Liu?
The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.

Liangzhou song
(Tang)
Wine luminous glass,
If you want to drink pipa, hurry up.
Don't laugh when you are drunk on the beach.
How many people fought in ancient times?
