One of Tang Li Shangyin's Untitled Works
I don't have Cai Feng's flying wings, but my heart is like a rhinoceros horn, connected by a little white line.
[Appreciation] The poet's two poems are obviously telling his own love experience. He and his lover live in two places and can't meet each other, so he said, "although my body doesn't have wings like a bright phoenix." Although they can't communicate with each other, they have reached an agreement on thoughts and feelings and communicated. "However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn" refers to this. The following sentence is often borrowed by later generations, but it is not limited to love. According to ancient records, there is a kind of rhinoceros horn called Tong Tianxi, which is white as a line running through the head and tail. It is regarded as a supernatural thing, so it is called Linxi, and the imagination of "one-stop communication" comes from this. Feng Shu, a Qing man, said, "This couplet is beautiful and effective in Quincy's life." (See Review of Yingkui Method and Meridian), which shows its far-reaching influence.
[Original] Last night's star, last night's wind, the west of the studio, the east of Guixiangtang. Without Cai Feng's wings, it is impossible to be Qi Fei in fly with me; The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are the same. Guessing and intrigue, wine warms the heart; This group of people came to the bet of drinking friends, and a win-lose red in candlelight. Alas, it's time to call the roll in the morning when you hear the drums of the fifth watch; Riding to Lantai is like the wind in the wind.
