Source: Jinse, one of the representative works of Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin.
Excerpt from the original text: I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, and each string has a youthful interval.
Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring.
There are twenty-five strings in Thuben, but this poem was written after Li Shangyin's wife died, so fifty strings have the meaning of broken strings, but even so, every string and syllable of it is enough to express the yearning for that wonderful time. Zhuang Zhou actually knows that he is just a butterfly yearning for freedom. Wang Di's beautiful heart and behavior can move Du Fu.

Jinse is the most famous and almost the most obscure one in Li Shangyin's poems.
Legend has it that Qin Shihuang asked Motome to play a stringed instrument with 50 strings, which was extremely sad, so Qin Shihuang split the instrument, and later the instrument only had 25 strings. The poet said that the golden harp has fifty strings, just like the most beautiful years of life are only fifty years, which probably means that life is as embarrassing as the music of the harp.
Zhuangzi dreamed that he became a butterfly, carefree. When he woke up, he didn't know whether he dreamed of a butterfly or whether Zhuangzi in this world was actually a butterfly's dream.
In ancient Shu (that is, the two rulers of this region, Shu in the foggy age), there was an emperor who gave up his throne to others and turned himself into a cuckoo after his death, continuing to protect his people.
According to legend, there is Jiao Ren outside the South China Sea, living in the water like a fish, and your tears will turn into pearls.
Legend has it that when the poor go into the mountains to dig jade at noon, they can see "good jade makes smoke." Mature jade will emit strange smoke, which can't be seen by dignitaries, so you can only dig out immature sapphires. Some critics say Lantian is warm and fertile, which is used to describe the elusive poetic landscape.
