Expressed the poet's heartache of leaving his hometown to serve the country.
Meet Huan
Alone in the west wing, the moon is like a hook. Lonely phoenix tree deep courtyard locks clear autumn.
Cutting is still messy, which is parting from sorrow. It's not just the general taste.
It is a famous work of Li Yu (doubtful), the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to meet each other late and go to the West Building alone without saying anything. The epigraph is to meet each other, but to sing the sorrow of parting. This is what the author did when he was imprisoned in Song State. The dazzling sadness in his poems is just an episode after his court life. Because he had already surrendered to the Song Dynasty, what he showed here was the pain of his heart when he left his hometown to serve his country. This poem is true, profound and natural, which breaks through the beautiful and greasy style of Huajian Ci in writing "women's language" and is the pioneering work of graceful and restrained Ci in the early Song Dynasty.
Brief introduction of the author
Li Yu (937-978) was the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. The word is heavy, Zhong Yin. When he ascended the throne, Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin had proclaimed themselves emperors for three years, and the Song Dynasty destroyed Houshu and Nanhan successively. The situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty was in jeopardy. Ten years after he succeeded to the throne, he was relegated to Jiangnan, renamed the monarch (Li Houzhu in the world), and sent envoys to the Song Dynasty. Li Yu is a superstitious Buddhist who only hopes to survive by paying tribute to the Song Dynasty every year. In the seventh year of Song Taizu Kaibao (974), the Song Dynasty sent Cao Bin to lead a southern expedition, captured Jinling the following year, and captured Li Yu to Bianjing. In 978, Song Taizong was poisoned.
Li Yu is good at writing ci, describing the corrupt life of the court and his style is flashy. After entering Bianjing, his poems were full of feelings about life experiences, which made him sad. Later generations combined his poems with those of his father Li Jing (the master of the Southern Tang Dynasty) into two main poems in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and The History of the Song Dynasty and the History of the Five Dynasties were circulated. He is good at calligraphy, painting, melody, poetry and writing, especially at words. Famous articles throughout the ages, such as "when is the spring flower and the autumn moon" and "crying at night, the wind and rain last night". Known as the "Ci Emperor".
