同昌公主喪畢，帝與郭淑妃悼念不已，可及為帝造曲，曰《嘆百年》，教舞者數百，皆珠翠襐飾，刻畫魚龍地衣，度用繒五千，倚曲作辭，哀思裴回，聞者皆涕下。 After Princess Tongchang's mourning ended, the emperor and Consort Guo could not cease grieving; Keji composed 'Lament for a Century' for hundreds of dancers in jeweled dress on carved dragon-and-fish carpets, using five thousand bolts of silk; the mournful lyrics moved all who heard them to tears.
