《太平广记·卷四百八十六·杂传记》
时光流逝，往事已去，唐玄宗不禁乐尽悲来。每到春天的白昼，冬天的夜晚，他看到池中莲花夏天盛开，宫中的槐树秋天落叶，听乐伎吹奏玉管，尤其一听到《霓裳羽衣曲》，心中就郁郁不乐，左右的侍从也叹息不止。
时移事去，乐尽悲来，每至春之日，冬之夜，池莲夏开，宫槐秋落，梨园弟子，玉管发音，闻《霓裳羽衣》一声，则天颜不怡，左右欷歔。
Time flies, and the past is gone. Emperor Xuanzong couldn't help but feel sad and happy. Every time he saw the lotus flowers blooming in the pond in the summer, the locust trees falling leaves in the autumn in the palace, and listening to the music played by the musicians, especially when he heard the "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothing Music", he would feel depressed, and the attendants on the left and right would also sigh.
