Han Yu's "Essay on Sacrifice to the Twelve Langs" is not a reliable translation.
... The truth is the product of wasting time in Chinese language classes back then. It was basically written according to the notes in the textbook... If there are any discrepancies with historical facts - this is normal.
——Death has knowledge, but it is far away; its ignorance will not last long, but those who are not sad will last forever.
--Alas! I don't know the time of your illness, I don't know the date of your death, we can't support each other in life and live together, I can't caress you when you are dead, I can't express my sorrow for you, I can't hold you in your coffin, and my bones can't come to your hole. My actions were negative to the gods and caused your death; I was unfilial and unkind, so I could not support you in life or stay with you until death. One is at the end of the sky, and the other is at the corner of the earth. When I was born, my shadow was not connected with my form, and when I died, my soul was not connected with my dreams. I actually do it, why is it so special! The sky in the sky has its ultimate limit! From now on, I have no intention of returning to this world! I should ask for a few hectares of land on Yi Ying, and wait for the rest of the years to teach my son and your son, and be happy with it; to raise my daughter and your daughter, and wait for her to marry, that's all.
