Song Luyou's Sleepwalking in Shenyuan Pavilion on December 2nd
original text
It's spring in the south of the city, and only plum blossoms can't be seen.
Jade bone has been in spring for a long time, and ink marks are still locked between dust walls.

The path south of the city ushered in spring again, only the plum blossoms on the roadside were still in full bloom, but the old friends who met here in the past were gone.
After a long time, my sweetheart has become underground. Look at the ink mark of Chai Feng written on the wall in those days, which was quickly covered by dust.
Two Sleepwalking in Shen Yuan Pavilion on December 12th is a set of seven-character quatrains written by Lu You, a writer in Song Dynasty. The first article wrote that I was very nervous before I entered the garden gate in my dream, and I was anxious because I missed people and poured out my sentimental feelings after I entered the garden. The second song locks the scene of sleepwalking on the "ink on the wall", expressing the long-term yearning for the deceased. This group of poems is sad and touching.
Creation background
In the first year of Song Ningzong (1205), Lu You was 81 years old. On the second day of December this year, Lu You dreamed that he came to the south of Shenyang Garden. Approaching Shenyang Garden, he wanted to go, but he was afraid to go, for fear that everything there would make him sad. But he still walked step by step to Shenyuan, where he saw things, thought of people and finally walked into Shenjiayuan. The garden is a scene of winter leaving and spring coming. Plum blossoms are in full bloom and the fragrance is fragrant. The shore willows are green, and the water in the pool has risen. Jade bone, the beauty he missed, died young, leaving only the stained ink stains eroded by the wind and dust between the walls. The contrast between the new and the old, glory and dryness in the dream left a complex and colorful projection in Lu You's mind. When he woke up from his dream, he recalled his dream and wrote this group of poems.
