Huanxisha, a poem by Nalan Xingde, a poet in Qing Dynasty.
Who reads the west wind alone, rustling yellow leaves and closing the window, reminiscing about the past and setting the sun.
It was unusual at that time to get drunk in spring and gamble on books and pour tea.
Vernacular translation:
The autumn wind blows cold, who misses that lonely feeling? Watching the yellow leaves dancing to cover the window, standing in the sunset, recalling the past.
Take a nap after drinking, the spring is suddenly leaking, the boudoir is gambling, and the skirt is scented with tea. The past is normal and I can't get what I want.
Extended data:
In winter, when the west wind blows cold and the yellow leaves whisper, the poet closes the window, and a person feels particularly cold, but who cares? The poet knows that it is "cold and clear", and no one thinks about it, but he insists on giving birth to the question of "who reads". This first sentence alone has already hurt people's hearts, and future generations can't help but feel the same. The word "cool" not only describes the weather, but also describes the poet's mood.
Feel nostalgia for the past in words. Shang Kun described the loneliness and desolation after his wife's death by sketching autumn scenery with yellow leaves and the sun setting. Next, I write about the ordinary past events recalled in meditation, using the life and beauty of husband and wife as a metaphor to describe the happy love between the past and my dead wife, and even tell the bitterness of today. The poem vividly expresses the poet's grief over his dead wife.
