The poems Han Yu left in Chaozhou are as follows:
A letter was sent to the Nine Heavens in the morning, and eight thousand people were demoted to Chaozhou Road in the evening. If you want to eliminate evil things for the saint, you are willing to cherish your remaining years! Where is Yun Heng's Qinling family? The snow embraces the blue and the horse stops moving forward. I know that you came from afar with some intention, so that you can take me back to the river bank.
