《太平广记·卷二百四十·谄佞二》
杨贵妃异常悔恨，抽取剪刀剪下一缕头上的青丝，交付给高力士说：珠宝玉翠，都是皇上赐赏给我的，不足以用它们进献给皇上。
妃悔恨号泣，抽刀剪发，授力士曰：珠玉珍异，皆上所赐，不足充献。
Yang Guifei was extremely remorseful. She retrieved her scissors and cut a lock of her hair, which she handed over to Gao Lishi." Jewelry and jade are not enough to show my devotion to the emperor, as they were all bestowed upon me by the emperor. Only this lock of hair was given to me by my parents, and so I can use it to express my true feelings for the emperor. Please take this lock of hair to the emperor and convey my sincere gratitude and admiration."
