The poem "Ridong Garden on the Double Ninth Festival" is very well written, and the poet's rich emotions are revealed between the lines. Let's first take a look at the original text of this poem.
Original text of "Double Ninth Festival, Ritong Garden"
The laws of the times are disturbed, and the dark clouds form the evening sky.
The towers invade the sun, and the mountains and rivers send autumn home.
The petrels leave their nests, and the frost flies away.
Have a glass of Yuanliang wine and chat about the dust machine.
Hu Su (995-1067), courtesy name Wuping, was born in Jinling, Changzhou (now Changzhou, Jiangsu). In the second year of Renzong Tiansheng's reign (1024), he became a Jinshi. He served as Yang Ziwei, Tongpan Xuanzhou, Zhihuzhou, and Zhejiang transfer envoy, Xiulizhu, Zhizhigao, Hanlin bachelor, and deputy privy envoy. In the third year of Emperor Yingzong's reign (1066), he became known to Hangzhou as a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a bachelor of Guanwen Palace. In the fourth year, except for the prince's young master who became an official, he died of illness at the age of seventy-three ("Hu Gong's Epitaph" in Volume 34 of "Ouyang Wenzhonggong Collected Works"). Posthumous title Wengong. The epitaph states that there are forty volumes of collected works, and "Zhizhai Shulu Jieti" records seventy volumes of "Collection of Hu Wengong", which has been lost for a long time. What I have seen so far are "Tang Poetry Advocacy", "Wujun Chronicle", "Tiantai Sequel", "Small Collection of Famous Sages of the Two Song Dynasties", "Song Poems Chronicle", "Jishuyan Song Poems Abridged", etc., each of which contains Hu Su's poems. Officials of the Fourth Treasury of the Qing Dynasty compiled more than 1,500 poems and essays by Hu Su from the "Yongle Dadian" and compiled them into fifty volumes of "Wen Gong Collection". They also collected and compiled those scattered in other books into one volume of "Supplement". When it was included in the "Sikuquanshu" and the "Wuyingdian Juzhen Edition Series", ten volumes of Qingci Leyu were deleted, and the "Supplement" was included, making it forty volumes. The Peking University Library has fifty volumes of "Wen Gong Ji" copied from the Qing Dynasty, and one volume of "Supplement", which is still the original edition compiled by Siku Library. There is a biography in Volume 318 of "History of the Song Dynasty".
