I. Original text
When is the moon in spring and autumn? How much do you know about the past? The small building was easterly again last night, and the old country could not bear to look back on the moon.
Carved fences and jade bricks should still exist, but Zhu Yan changed them. How much sadness can you have? Like a river flowing eastward.
Second, translation.
When does this year's time end? I know how many things happened in the past! Last night, the spring breeze blew from the small building again. How can I bear the pain of missing my hometown in this bright night? Carefully carved railings and jade steps should still be there, but the people I miss are aging. Ask me how much sadness I have in my heart, just like this endless spring water rolling east.

Creation background
This Yu Meiren is Li Yu's desperate words, which is considered to be the work of Emperor Taizong in the third year of Taiping in the Northern Song Dynasty (978). At that time, Li Yu had been imprisoned in Bianjing for nearly three years. Legend has it that Li Yu ordered a prostitute to sing this word in her apartment on the night of her birthday on July 7. When Song Taizong heard this, he ordered Zhao Tingmei, the king of Qin, to give him morning medicine to poison him.
Wang Luo in Song Dynasty said in "A Record": "My ancestors gave me the first poem, which was named after Qixi and prostitute music. Emperor Taizong was furious when he heard about it. He also passed sentences such as' the east wind in the small building last night' and' a river of spring water flows eastward' and sat down to worry. " According to these records, Song Taizong has always been suspicious of Li Yu, and it has a long history to kill his heart quickly. This word is the direct cause of Li Yu's poisoning.
