A set of poems composed by Emperor Wu of Han during his personal inspection of the breached Huzi embankment. The verses mourn the devastation caused by the Yellow River flood and depict the people's struggle to fight against the disaster. The two ballads are solemn in tone and archaic in style, masterworks of imperial authorship from the Western Capital.
