《题明王打球图》是宋代诗人晁说之创作的一首七绝。此诗通过题咏画中的史实来抒发诗人对现实的感慨。前两句写唐代宫门千重万层大大敞开的升平气象和唐玄宗打完球后带醉而归的得意神情；后两句是诗人在发泄幽愤，既是对唐玄宗的讽刺，也是对忠谏之臣的赞美和惋惜。全诗文笔流畅，言浅意深，篇幅虽短小，立意却不凡。
《题明王打球图》 晁说之
阊阖千门万户开，三郎沉醉打球回。
九龄已老韩休死，无复明朝谏疏来。
Picture of Ball Playing
Chao Yuezhi
See thousands of palace gates open one and all:
The emperor comes back drunk after playing ball.
The loyal ministers are old or die of sorrow;
No one would venture an admonition tomorrow.
