Flowers bloom and fall, and flowing water gurgles.

Flowers from Shui Piao to water, one kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure.

Lotus root is fragrant, and jade is lingering in autumn. Gently untie Luo Shang and go to Lan alone. Who sent the brocade book, the word geese returned, and the moon was full of the West Building.

Flowers bloom and fall, and flowing water gurgles. One kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure. There is no way to eliminate this situation, only frown and mind.

Vernacular translation: The lotus flower has withered, and the fragrance has faded. The bamboo mat, which is as cold as jade, is full of autumn, gently carrying a silk skirt and boarding the Lanzhou boat alone. Looking up at the distant sky, where white clouds are rolling, who will send the brocade book? It was the time when the herringbone geese returned to the south, and the moonlight was bright and filled the pavilion building in the west.

Flowers are free, water is free. A kind of parting acacia, you and me, affects two leisure worries. Ah, what I can't get over is that this lovesickness, this sadness, has just disappeared from the frowning brow and is vaguely entangled in my heart.

Creation background

This word is Li Qingzhao's early work, once she got married. Yi Shizhen, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, quoted a legendary cloud in The Story of Paradise Library: "Yi An has never been married for a long time, and if he is sincere, he will travel far.

Yi Anshu couldn't bear to say goodbye, so he found the word "a piece of plum" in Jinpa's book and sent it. However, Wang Zhongwen, a modern ci poet, put forward a different opinion in the Collation of Li Qingzhao's Collection: "When Zhao Qing was in Zhao Mingcheng, both of them were in Tokyo, and Ming Cheng was a great scholar, so he had no responsibility to travel far. This is obviously untrue. Li Qingzhao's father, Li Weng, seems to know his name, especially because he is ignorant. "Tianshuku" is a fake book with no good basis. "

According to Li Qingzhao's Biographical Preface to Jin Shilu, Li Qingzhao married Zhao Mingcheng in Jianzhong Jingnian (111). After marriage, the husband and wife had deep feelings and shared the same interests. Then his father, Li, was wronged in the party struggle, and Li Qingzhao was also implicated and forced to return to China, sometimes leaving her husband. This inevitably caused her to think a lot and wrote many poems, among which the poem Pruning Plums is a masterpiece.
