"When is the spring flower and autumn moon?" It is a sentence written by Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, on the eve of being poisoned. This is a word of despair.
This is a sad song of life. By comparing the sharp contradiction between the eternity of nature and the impermanence of life, the author expresses the sorrow of life failure after the national subjugation. The whole word language is clear, concise, beautiful and fresh, so as to answer questions.
Conclusion, from asking questions from heaven to asking yourself, through intense tone and tortuous artistic structure, the author's melancholy runs through and forms a refreshing aesthetic effect.
This word and "Waves and Sand Rain Outside the Curtain" were written before Li Yu was poisoned. In 978, the third year of the peaceful rejuvenation of the country by Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Yu returned to the Song Dynasty for nearly three years. In the eighth year of Song Taizu Kaibao (975), Song Jun attacked Jinling, the capital of Nantang, Li Yufeng surrendered and Nantang perished. Three years later, that is, three years of peaceful rejuvenation, Xu Xuan was ordered by Song Taizong to visit Li Yu, and Li Yu sighed at Xu Xuan: "I regret killing Pan You and Li Ping by mistake!" It is probably in this state of mind that Li Yu wrote the word "Yu Meiren".
