Song Dynasty: Xie Kejia
The willow branches of the Yi Palace brushed the palace wall, and no one in the building had a long spring day. Swallows return, still busy. Recalling you, the moon breaks dusk, and people are heartbroken.
Translation of Memories of Time Past and Willow Brushing on the Palace Wall in Yi Palace
In the spring breeze, the green palace willows, with their branches fluttering, caressed the red palace wall affectionately; The painting building and the deep hall are empty, and the long spring day passes quietly and difficultly. When Liang came back, Lao Yan was still busy flying in and out, taking care of his lair. Recalling the monarch, the moon opens at dusk, and the country breaks and lives in a foreign land. People are heartbroken when they think about it.

Appreciation of Memories of Time Past and Willow Brushing the Palace Wall in the Yi Palace
The poet witnessed the invasion of the Jin people and the exile of the monarch. At the critical juncture of the country and the nation, he wrote this poem, which is a highly unified work of ideology and artistry.
The whole sentence did not say that the country broke the monarch's imprisonment and the nest was destroyed. In terms of palace willows, the hall is silent, and a sense of the past and the present is vividly on the paper. The phrase "spring is long" turns the objective description of scenery into subjective psychological feelings, which means that scenery is emotion, emotion is born of scenery, and lyric and scenery writing are harmonious and unified here. Behind the magnificent scenery, there is deep pain. Then the poet turned the pen: "The swallow is still busy when he returns." Swallows are heartless things. How can they know that the guild hall is still there, but the owner has changed, and they are still busy building a new nest in mud on the old beam, just like the vicissitudes of life that "Lao Wang Xie Tang died and flew into the homes of ordinary people". Finally, "remembering the king, the moon breaks at dusk and the heart breaks" points out the theme and misses Lao Wang. The conclusion is full of true flavor and lofty meaning, and a fragrant and happy artistic image is vividly presented to the readers. Because it started from the front of the topic and attracted attention from the outside, I only used the word "broken" and immersed myself in the memories of willow branches from early morning to dusk and from dusk to the moon. In the past, the palace willows were green, and now the moonlight dusk; There was no one in the building before, but now there is a strong contrast. Now there is a sad memory, but there is no words for a long time, but it takes a long time; I don't remember each other deeply, but the meaning of caring is very clear. "Twilight on the Moon" is about scenery; The lyric of "The Heartbroken Man" unifies the description of the scenery and lyric in a complete sentence, while the scenery is more dazzling in the context of feelings, and the feelings are more vividly displayed in the contrast of the scenery.
This poem expresses deep feelings, but without a word of truth, it writes the cruel reality of broken mountains and rivers and captured kings into the silence of the palace, willow pavilions and halls, and expresses the sad pain of national subjugation with the vicissitudes of the world.
The Creative Background of Memories of Time Past and Liu Brush the Palace Wall in Yi Palace
In December of the first year of Jingkang (1 126), nomads captured Bianjing, and in January of the following year, Evonne and Zhao Huan were forced to make peace with Jinying outside the city and were detained. At that time, Kaifeng soldiers and civilians learned that Hui Di and Qin Emperor were detained, and spontaneously gathered in droves outside Nanxun Gate and on both sides of Imperial Road, braving the snow, enduring hunger and cold, leading the hope and waiting for the "chariot return". On the 28th day of the first month, the poet wrote this word with tears in his eyes.
