Book of Liang, Chapter 6Volume 6: Emperor Jing · 1 passage

然文艷用寡，華而不實，體窮淫麗，義罕疏通，哀思之音，遂移風俗，以此而貞萬國，異乎周誦、漢庄矣。 Yet his writing was brilliant but thin, flowery but not solid; his style exhausted licentious beauty and his meaning rarely penetrated; mournful tones shifted custom—holding the myriad states thus differs from King Song of Zhou and Emperor Zhuang of Han.
