Generally speaking, "mourning" and "self-injury" are the most common expressions. In the poem, the author recalls his boyhood, feels sad about his misfortune, and places his grief and indignation on him. He borrowed a lot of allusions such as Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly, cuckoo's tears, tears in the sea and jade like smoke, and used metaphor and imagination to transform his auditory feelings into visual images.
Create a hazy realm with the combination of fragment images, so as to convey its sincere, strong and profound thoughts with the help of visually perceptible poetic images. Li Shangyin's life is full of ups and downs, with unspeakable pain, bitter feelings, poems trapped in his heart, deep wounds, reciprocating low hesitation and deep infection. It often depends on the deep feelings of life and death, and there is hatred in Jinse's poems about where you will go.

Author: Tang Dynasty-Li Shangyin
I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it.
Translation:
Why do exquisite musical instruments have fifty strings, each of which reminds me of my youth?
Zhuang Zhou danced in his sleep and turned into a butterfly, hoping that the emperor would entrust his hatred to Du Fu.
The moon, the sea and Jiao Ren shed tears, and the jade in Lantian can only turn into smoke when it is warm.
Why do you want to recall this scene at this time, just because my heart was just at a loss at that time.

The creative background of Jinse;
Li Shangyin is talented and quick-thinking. He was admitted to a scholar in his early twenties. He was jealous of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and was not brushed off. Since then, he has never met his talent. In the "Niu Li Party Struggle", the two sides are in a dilemma, full of doubts, repeatedly rejected, and their ambitions are difficult to achieve. Losing his wife in middle age, expressing his feelings by writing poems, is despised by people.
This poem was written in the author's later years, after Li Shangyin's wife died. Therefore, 50 strings mean broken strings (once a 25-string Gusser string is broken in half, it means 50 strings), but even so, every string and syllable of it is enough to express the yearning for that wonderful time.
