Creative background:
In the first year of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty (1 126), the Jin people captured the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, fled to the south of the Yangtze River, and acceded to the throne in Lin 'an. Those in power only seek peace, singing and dancing, and being happy. This poem is written for this dark reality. This poem was written by the author on the wall of a hotel in Lin 'an, the imperial capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is an ancient "poem on the wall", and the title was added by later generations.
In the first sentence of the poem, "There are green hills and towers outside the mountain", the poet grasped the characteristics of Lin 'an City-green hills and towers are lined up. This first describes the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, continuous green mountains and pavilions. The poet's description of the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers reveals a kind of pleasure. Then he wrote, "When will the West Lake dance stop?" The poet was hurt by the reality of this country.
The word "Hugh" in the poem not only implies the poet's heartache about the real social situation, but more importantly, it shows the poet's indignation that he blindly "Hugh" to make peace with those in power, unwilling to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, and only seeking peace and indulgence.
The last two sentences, "Warm wind makes tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou a continent", are the poet's further expression of his feelings. The word "warm wind" is a pun, which refers to both the spring breeze in nature and the decadent wind in society. It is this "warm wind" that blows people's minds like they are drunk.
"Tourists" cannot be understood as ordinary tourists. It means that the ruling class in the Southern Song Dynasty forgot the national disaster, lived a quiet life and had fun. The Southern Song authorities were reprimanded for forgetting national hatred and family feuds, and regarded Hangzhou as the old capital Bianzhou. Bitter satire contains great anger and endless worries.
