Alone in the west wing, the moon is like a hook. Lonely phoenix tree deep courtyard, lock clear autumn.
Cutting is still messy, which is parting from sorrow. It's not the general taste, it's in my heart.

Mourning the voice of national subjugation —— Interpretation of Li Yu's Two Poems "Meeting You Huan"
First, Li Yu's life and the development of ci style
Li Yu (937-978) ascended the throne in 19961,and was called the queen of southern Tang dynasty. When he ascended the throne, Zhou Jianguo had been replaced by Song Dynasty, and the situation in Southern Tang Dynasty was in jeopardy. He sought perfection from the grievances of the Song Dynasty and lived quietly for more than ten years. After the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, it was captured to Bianjing, where it was a prisoner for about two years, and was finally killed by Emperor Taizong.
Li Yu is incompetent in politics, but he has made great achievements in literature and art. He is good at writing and painting, and is good at understanding melodies, especially words. His creation is divided into two stages: he did not go into politics in the early stage and indulged in chanting, feasting and dancing. In order to make the ladies-in-waiting dance more graceful, he is absurd and morbid, and the bad habit of China women's foot-binding started from him. Most of his ci poems in this period reflected his extravagant life in officialdom. Although these words are mature in technique, they are actually a continuation of the ci style in the Southern Dynasties. In the later period, after he entered the Song Dynasty, he gradually woke up from a drunken dream and was very angry and sad about the humiliating life in prison. His ci began to express the voice of national subjugation and pour out his deep sorrow of "Lacrimosa day by day". His ci has a lasting artistic power that touches people's hearts. It can be said that the national subjugation made him lose the throne of the emperor, but he made great achievements in the creation of ci. As Wang Guowei of the dynasty commented, "When a word arrives, it becomes a scholar-bureaucrat." This is a pertinent evaluation of his literary status.
