This poem is from the Song Dynasty poet Li Qingzhao's "Drunken Flowers". The full text is as follows:
The mist is thick and the clouds are thick, and the days are sad. Kapoor is among the birds in the incense burner. The festival is also a double ninth festival, and the jade pillow gauze kitchen is half cold at night.
Dongli drinks until dusk, and faint chrysanthemum fragrance overflows his sleeves. Mo Tao doesn't forget me, the curtain rolls west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers.
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: foggy, dense clouds, sad days, and dazzling borneol in the golden beast incense burner. It's the Double Ninth Festival again, and I'm lying in a jade pillow bedstead. The chill in the middle of the night has just soaked my whole body. I drank until dusk in Dongli, and the fragrance of Huang Ju overflowed my sleeve. Don't say clear autumn doesn't hurt people. The west wind rolls a bead curtain, and the people in the curtain are thinner than the yellow flowers.

Creative background: This word was written by Li Qingzhao in his early years. 11year (the first year of Guo Jing, Zhong Jian, Song Huizong), 18-year-old Li Qingzhao married her former student Zhao Mingcheng. Shortly after marriage, the husband "traveled far away" and became lonely. She deeply misses her husband who has traveled far away. A.D. 1 103 (the second year of Chongning), people miss their loved ones more than ever before, so they wrote this poem and gave it to Zhao Mingcheng.
Fog clouds will make you sad forever. From morning till night, the sky is a "fog cloud". This gloomy weather is the most depressing. The weather outside is bad, so we have to stay indoors. Forever daytime is generally used to describe summer daytime. This word was written on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is the Double Ninth Festival. It's autumn now, and the days are getting shorter and shorter. Some people say that "forever" is just a poet's psychological feeling.
The sentence "brain-nourishing and golden beast" is a paraphrase of the indoor scene: she is really bored when she looks at the cigarettes in the incense burner alone. It's the Double Ninth Festival again, and the weather suddenly turns cold. I slept until midnight, and the coolness reflected on my pillow. Compared with the warmth of the boudoir when the couple are reunited, it is really a world of difference. In the last film, there are only a few sentences describing a young woman's anxiety in the boudoir.
The word "you" in Double Ninth Festival has a strong emotional color, which prominently expresses her sadness. Followed by two sentences: "Jade pillow gauze kitchen, it's cold in the middle of the night." When the husband is not at home, the jade pillow sleeps alone, and he sleeps alone in the bedstead, it is inevitable that he will feel lonely. "It's cool in the middle of the night" is not only that the season turns cold, but it has a bleak taste.
The next part, it is written about the scene of enjoying chrysanthemums and drinking at dusk on the Double Ninth Festival. Watching chrysanthemums with wine was originally a major program of the Double Ninth Festival. Probably for the occasion, Li Qingzhao sat in the house all day, and it was not until the evening that she forced herself to "drink in Dongli". However, this did not alleviate the sadness, but set off a bigger emotional wave in her heart.
The phrase "there is a faint fragrance to fill the sleeves" usually refers to plum blossoms, here refers to chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemum blooms in Ao Shuang after frost, and its weather vane is similar to plum blossom, implying the poet's noble mind and elegant taste. At the same time, it also reveals the deep regret that "the incense is full of sleeves, and the road is long and its Xiu Yuan is Xi". This is a secret story about her yearning for her husband.
"Don't forget the soul" means that the wind is getting late, and the west wind blows up the curtains, which makes people feel a chill. Reminiscent of the chrysanthemum that just put wine on the opposite side, the petals of chrysanthemum are slender and the branches of chrysanthemum are thin, which makes people feel sad, sad and helpless while fighting against the wind in Ao Shuang. People are not as good as chrysanthemums at this time. Taking "people are thinner than yellow flowers" as the conclusion, there are many examples and rich connotations.
