Did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty leave any literary works behind?

I've seen Gaozu's Song of the Gale, so I want to ask if there are any works of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that have been passed down? If you have a name, you'd better show me the full text! Thank you!

Answer 1

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an important emperor in Chinese history. During his reign, he implemented many important reforms and policies, and also created many literary works. However, whether his works have been passed down to this day is still controversial.

According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself wrote a poem,"Song of Everlasting Sorrow," but this poem was not preserved. At present, only a portion of the text fragments have been circulated. In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also wrote some other literary works such as "Watching the Sea" and "Fengshan Book", but the authenticity of these works is also controversial. Some scholars believe that these works may have been written by later generations.

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not leave behind a complete literary work, many excellent literary works emerged during his period, such as Sima Qian's Records of the Historian and Ban Gu's Han Shu. These works had a profound impact on Chinese history and culture.
