As the first talented man in the early Qing Dynasty, Nalan Rongruo, although his life was short, illuminated the literary world of the Qing Dynasty like a bright shooting star. There were also several very important women in his life. Nalan was trapped and hurt by love throughout his life, leaving behind a lasting legacy.
This poem is simple and straightforward, but it is profound and direct, full of helplessness and memories. Happy people always indulge in reality, while frustrated people are willing to indulge in memories. After things have changed and people have changed, I feel that things are impermanent, and I am willing to recall the good things in the past.
The most beautiful expectation is probably nothing more than this. It's easy to beg for blood from the blue bridge, but it's hard to run across the blue sea for medicine. Facing his beloved wife Lu, Nalan expressed his longing for her many times, and this sentence has become a famous saying throughout the ages.
If a person has feelings, spring will last all year round.
If people are ruthless, who will be happy?
Nalan Rongruo borrowed allusions from Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng to commemorate his deceased wife. Whenever I recall the ordinary days we spent together day and night, I feel sad and regretful. Regret means regretting not cherishing the ordinary things and letting them pass away; hating means hating the impermanence of the world and only thinking about the ordinary.
