rhyme translation:
There is a young girl in Luoyang City who lives opposite me;
Yan Rong is very handsome, just over fifteen years old.
When the wedding is held, the husband rides a horse named Yule Qingqing;
The golden plate brought by the maid contained the preserved carp.
Draw a pavilion and Zhu Lou courtyard terrace, with seats facing each other;
Peach, red, willow and green hang down to the eaves and flutter in the wind.
She was dressed up and sent to a silk car.
A beautiful treasure fan covers the sun and welcomes the bright Jiuhua account.
The husband is young, powerful, rich and frivolous;
The spirit is arrogant and extravagant, which greatly surpasses that of the rich Shi Jilun.
I love my wife and personally teach her to practice singing and dancing;
it's no pity to give away rare corals.
have fun all night, and the spring window will go out at dawn.
pieces of snuff fell into the carved circular pane.
after playing, she never has time to brush up on her music;
after dressing up, I just sat by the incense burner and smoked through my clothes.
The people you know in Luoyang City are all rich and luxurious;
people who come and go day and night are all big families like Zhao and Li.
Xi Shi is clean and beautiful. Who will pity such a girl?
When I was poor, I had to wash the yarn at the head of Ruoye Creek.
Comment: The rich and luxurious life of a lady in Luoyang and the extravagant and dissolute behavior of her husband reveal the arrogance, extravagance and debauchery of high-level society. The first eight sentences of the poem are about the arrogance of Luoyang women and the wealth and luxury of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The eight sentences of "crazy husband" are about the arrogance and debauchery of the female husband in Luoyang and the charm and boredom of the lady as a plaything. The four sentences of "in the city" are about their friends
being rich and precious. Taking Xi Shi's humble origin as a contrast, he expresses the author's feelings.
