Tang Dynasty, Du Fu's poem "Respectfully Sent to Gao Changshi": "We've met many times on the Wen River (汶上 [wen shang]), but what can old friends do about their lack of advancement (飛騰故人何 [fei teng gu ren he])?" Song Dynasty, Liu Yong's poem "Ding Feng Bo - Since Spring Came": "There's nothing I can do, I hate that the unfeeling one has left, and there's been no word from them (恨薄情一去 [hen bao qing yi qu]，音書無個 [yin shu wu ge])."
