Lotus leaves are born, spring hates them, lotus leaves are dry, and spring hates them.
I know I've been in love for a long time, and I'm disappointed with the sound of the river in Wangjiangtou.
This is a solo tour of Qujiang in late spring by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty. This poem describes Li Yishan's feeling of revisiting his hometown alone after parting from his lover.
What is this poem about?
"I met you by chance in the spring when the lotus leaf was born. But the sorrow of spring has been born faintly. In the autumn when the lotus leaves turn yellow, the sadness of parting finally comes. I deeply know that this love will always be with me. In desperation, I can only stand alone at the head of the river and listen to the endless sound of running water. "
After years of erosion and changes in time and space, Li Shangyin revisited his old place in late spring. Although the lotus leaf has withered and the beauty has disappeared, he still can't stop his sentimental attachment, "knowing that he has been in love for a long time" and lamenting that he can't extricate himself. He can only look through the autumn water and stand alone at the head of the river, and he is infinitely disappointed.
In life, life will wither without affection. Love is asking for trouble. Affectionate, heartless, really painstaking! An invisible word "love" has trapped many heroes in ancient and modern times!
