Author Lu You? Song dynasty
In recent years, officials are interested in a thin layer of gauze. Who will let me take a bus to Kyoto to visit this bustling city?
The small building listened to the spring rain last night, and the deep alley sold apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty.
Slowly spread out small pieces of paper sideways, every word is organized, carefully boil water and tea under the sun window, skim it and try to taste famous tea.
Oh, don't sigh that the dust in Kyoto will stain the white clothes, and there is still time to return to the mirror house in Lake Ubak.
Interpretation of vernacular:
In recent years, the interest of officials is as light as a veil. Who let me ride a horse to Kyoto to pollute the bustling?
Living in a small building and listening to the spring rain all night, I will hear apricot blossoms in the depths of the alley in the morning.
Spread out a small piece of paper and write leisurely and diagonally. The words are very organized. Carefully boil water, make tea, skim the foam and try to taste famous tea in front of a sunny window.
Oh, don't sigh that the dust in Kyoto will stain the white clothes. There is still time to go back to my hometown in the mountains by the Mirror Lake during the Qingming Festival.
Extended data writing background:
Seven-character metrical poems written by Lu You, a poet in Southern Song Dynasty, in his later years. The beginning of the poem expresses the helplessness of the world in the form of doubt, and the guest is abandoned in Beijing. The mood of the whole poem reaches a climax at the beginning, and the latter three parts gradually fall back.
Whether you can't sleep at night listening to the spring rain, boring "planting grass" and "sharing tea" at dawn, or comforting yourself that you can get home at Qingming, these are the footnotes of the first two sentences, and they are all helpless moves to be a guest in Beijing when you are tired of officialdom. The emotional momentum of the whole poem is from high to low, but it is seamless.
Lu You was sixty-two years old when he wrote this song "The Beginning of Spring Rain in Lin 'an", and spent five years in his hometown of Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). The poet's high spirits and frivolity in his youth are gone forever with the passage of time. Although his ambition to recover the Central Plains has not diminished, he is increasingly aware of the weakness and darkness of the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty.
After Wang Yan was transferred from Sichuan to Shaanxi, Lu You returned to eastern Sichuan in the fifth year of Xichun (A.D. 1 178) and worked as a junior official in Fujian, Jiangxi and Zhejiang. The situation of "I want to lie on my couch for a few times, but my sword is hard to drink" is quite different from the situation in which Wang Yan's men are reused.
In the spring of the thirteenth year of Xichun (A.D. 1 186), the author was called to Beijing to accept the position of Yanzhou as the magistrate. Before his appointment, he went to Lin 'an (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang) to see the emperor, lived in an inn by the West Lake and was summoned. In boredom, he wrote this well-known masterpiece.
