(Song) Lu You
When you die, everything is empty,
But I'm sad to see Kyushu.
Julian Waghann Beiding Zhongyuan Day,
Family sacrifices will not be forgotten. The first sentence is "everything is empty when you die." "Yuan Zhi", already know; "Everything is empty" means that everything can be attached after death. But then the meaning of the second sentence changed: "but I can't see the sad Kyushu", but I can't let go of one thing, that is, the lost land has not been recovered and I have not seen the reunification of the motherland with my own eyes. The third sentence of this poem, "Julian Waghann concentrated in the north", shows that although the poet is deeply distressed, he is not desperate. He firmly believed that one day the army of the Song Dynasty could pacify the Central Plains and recover lost territory. With this sentence, the mood of the poem changed from sadness to passion. At the end of the sentence, "I never forgot to tell you about the family sacrifice", my mood changed again. I have no choice but to see the day when the motherland is reunified when I am alive, so I have to pin my hopes on future generations. So I told my son affectionately, don't forget to tell him the good news of "Beiding Zhongyuan" when offering sacrifices at home.
This poem is Lu You's masterpiece.

This poem is full of twists and turns, which sincerely expresses the poet's complex thoughts and feelings at the end of his life, including endless resentment against the unfinished golden cause and firm belief that the sacred cause will be realized.
