set　up　a　stone　and　sacrificed　regularly　at　the　four　seasons。　The　passers…by　were　moved　to　tears　when　they　read　Yang　Hu's　name　on　the　tablet；　so　that　it　came　to　be　called　〃The　Stone　of　Tears〃。

I　saw　the　fragments　of　a　shattered　stone

One　spring　time　on　the　hillside；　when；　alone；

I　walked　to　greet　the　sun。　The　pines　distilled

Big　drops　of　dew　unceasing；　sadness　filled

My　heart。　I　knew　this　was　the　Stone　of　Tears；

Wang　Jun；　Imperial　Protector　of　Yizhou；　sent　in　a　memorial　advising　an　attack　upon　Wu。　He　said：
