When Nalan Xingde was 20 years old, he married the daughter of Lu Xingzu, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. After marriage, the two loved each other, and the happy marriage inspired his poetry creation. But only three years later, Lu died in childbirth, which brought great pain to Nalan Xingde. Since then, "there are many lamentations, and the hatred of bosom friends is especially deep." The heavy spiritual blow made him repeatedly show endless yearning for love and lost homesickness in his later mourning poems.
Nalan Xingde (1655- 1685), a Manchu named Rong Ruo, was one of the most famous poets in Qing Dynasty. His poems not only enjoyed a high reputation in the poetry circle of Qing Dynasty, but also occupied a dazzling position in the poetry circle together with "Nalan Ci" in the whole history of China literature. He lived in the period of Manchu-Han integration, and the rise and fall of his aristocratic family was typical of the state affairs related to the dynasty. Although he served the emperor, he yearned for a dull experience. This special living environment and background, coupled with his detached talent, make his poetry creation present unique personality characteristics and distinctive artistic style. It has been passed down to this day, "If life is just like the first sight, what about the autumn wind painting fan?" It is easy to change, but it is easy to change ... "This masterpiece full of artistic conception is one of its many masterpieces. The unrestrained and uninhibited character of Nalan Xingde's poet, his natural and refined nature, his outstanding talent and fame, and his family background, eating, drinking, entering the palace, and setting foot on the future of the sea constitute a sense of contradiction and intangible psychological depression that ordinary people can't observe. Coupled with the early death of his beloved wife, it is difficult to reunite old dreams in the future, and the gathering and separation of literary friends makes him unable to get rid of his deep confusion and pessimism. Tired of career, disdainful of wealth and disdainful of official career, he has no intention to care about anything that can be taken away easily outside his body, but he is obsessed with love that cannot last long and the natural harmony between his heart and the environment. In the late spring of the 24th year of Kangxi (1685), he got together with friends, got drunk, sang three sighs, and then got sick. Seven days later, he died on May 30th (1 July).
