Attributed to Song emperor Gaozong 宋高宗 (r. 1127–62), 31 columns in semi-cursive script, undated:
及宋，宋襄公贈之以馬二十乘。
及鄭，鄭文公亦不禮焉。叔詹諫曰：“臣聞天之所啟，人弗及也。晉公子有三焉，天其或者將建諸，君其禮焉。男女同姓，其生不蕃。晉公子，姬出也，而至於今，一也。離外之患，而天不靖晉國，殆將啟之，二也。有三士足以上人而從之，三也。晉、鄭同儕，其過子弟固將禮焉，況天之所啟乎。”弗聼。
及楚，楚子饗之，曰：“公子若反晉國，則何以報不榖？”對曰：“子女玉帛，則君有之；羽毛齒革，則君地生焉。其波及晉國者，君之餘也，其何以報君？”曰：“雖然，何以報我？”對曰：“若以君之靈，得反晉國，晉、楚治兵，遇於中原，其辟君三舍。若不獲命，其左執鞭弭，右屬橐鞬，以與君周旋。”子玉請殺之。楚子曰：“晉公子廣而儉，文而有禮，其從者肅而寬，忠而能力。晉侯無親，外內惡之。吾聞姬姓唐叔之後，其後衰者也。其將由晉公子乎？天將興之，誰能廢之？違天必有大咎。”乃送諸秦。
秦伯納女五人，懷嬴與焉。奉匜沃盥，既而揮之。怒曰：“秦、晉匹也，何以卑我！”公子懼，降服而囚。他日，公享之。子犯曰：“吾不如衰之文也，請使衰從。”公子賦 《河水》，公賦 《六月》。趙衰曰：“重耳拜賜。”公子降拜稽首，公降一級而辭焉。衰曰：“君稱所以佐天子者命重耳，重耳敢不拜？”
及河，子犯以璧授公子，曰：“臣負羈絏，從君巡於天下，臣之罪甚多矣。臣猶知之，而況君乎？請由此亡。”公子曰：“所不與舅氏同心者，有如白水。”投其璧于河。
濟河，圍令狐，入桑泉，取臼衰。二月甲午晉師軍于廬柳，秦伯使公子縶如晉師，師退軍于郇。辛丑狐偃及秦，晉之大夫盟於郇。壬寅公子入于晉師，丙午入于曲沃，丁未朝於武宮。

李唐畫 《晉文公復國圖》
Colophons
1. Qiao Kuicheng 喬簀成 (13th–14th c.), 12 columns in standard script, undated; 2 seals:
右圖晉文公復國故實，間書《左氏傳》於左。始于宋襄贈馬，至朝於武宮而止。前輩跋謂為吳元瑜畫，黃魯直書。余諦觀筆法，圖乃李唐，書乃思陵，不可誣也。且余家向藏 《晉公子復國圖》 一巻，為晞古妙筆。前有奔狄、過衛、適齊、及曹四事。其後布景則同，而無書。此則逸其前，而書《左傳》於後。蓋思陵少年書學魯直，後劉豫令能書者為間，遂改學六朝人法，自成一家，無怪乎後人之誤評耳。余乃削其跋，正其名，而著語于後，世必有韙余言者。北燕喬簀成識。 [印]： 中山父印、喬簣成印
2. Shi Yan 石巗 (14th c.), 16 columns in clerical script, dated 1334; 3 seals:
李唐，字晞古，河陽人。在宣、靖間已著名畫院。南渡後，流寓臨安，賣畫自給，無有識者，途窮日困。嘗作詩曰：“雪裡煙村雨裡灘，看之容易作之難。早知不入時人眼，多買臙脂畫牡丹。”可概見矣。後有中使識之，奏聞，復入待詔，一變前學，遂為畫院之首。此圖前後有“宣和”大、小璽，後人便目為北宋，而不知為晞古早年之筆，高古迺爾，尤足珍也。至於高宗書傳，亦與晚年書法不同，想初駐臨安時，流離播遷，冀圖復國，如登天上。見此圖有不驚心感嘆者乎。節書《左傳》，有以夫仲山訂正而改題，洵有據哉。元統二年秋八月既望石巗題，是日弁陽周公謹同觀。 [印]： 墨池清興、石氏書印、平臺
3. Wu Kuan 吳寬 (1435–1504), 13 columns in standard script, dated 1470; 1 seal:
宋高宗萬機之暇喜書經文，嘗曰：“寫字當寫經書，不惟學字，又得經書不忘。”曾寫有 《十三經》，刻石禁中。迨元初，楊璉真珈發宋諸陵造塔，取故經石為塔址，遂散落如雲煙矣。予所見真跡惟 《毛詩》頗多，毎十篇作一卷，虛其左，令馬和之補圖，大抵乃德壽宮事。此巻則李畫在前，人物類伯時，樹石、宮宇肖黃筌，較勝晚年之作。而書在後者，益證為思陵早年筆，有虞永興風規，足稱二絕。成化六年四月望日吳寬題。 [印]： 原博
4. Zhou Tianqiu 周天球 (1514–1595), 1 column in semi-cursive script; 2 seals:
六止生周天球觀。 [印]： 江左、周天球印
