Said by: "When is the spring flower and autumn moon?" It is a sentence written by Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, on the eve of being poisoned. This is a word of despair.
Original text:
Young mermaid, Chunhua Qiuyue: When is it?
Five Dynasties: Li Yu
When is the moon in spring and autumn? How much do you know about the past? The small building was easterly again last night, and the old country could not bear to look back on the moon.
Carved fences and jade bricks should still exist, but Zhu Yan changed them. How much sadness can you have? Like a river flowing eastward.
Translation:
When does this year's time end? How much do you know about the past! Last night, there was a spring breeze blowing in the small building. On this bright night, how can I bear the pain of thinking of my hometown?
Carefully carved railings and jade steps should still be there, but the people I miss are aging. Ask me how much sadness I have in my heart, just like endless spring water rolling east.

Creative background:
This word and "Waves and Sand Rain Outside the Curtain" were written before Li Yu's poisoning, which was the third year of Taizong's peaceful rejuvenation of the country in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 978). At this time, Li Yu has been in Song for nearly three years.
In the third year of Taiping and Xingguo, Xu Xuan was ordered by Song Taizong to visit Li Yu. Li Yu sighed at Xu Xuan: "I regret killing Pan You and Li Ping by mistake!" It is probably in this state of mind that Li Yu wrote the word "Yu Meiren".
Appreciate:
This is a sad song of life. By comparing the sharp contradiction between the eternity of nature and the impermanence of life, the author expresses the sadness of life failure after the national subjugation, and his language choked, which makes people unbearable to read.
The romance of spring flowers and the nobility of autumn moon are refreshing, but for the lower-class prisoners, they have lost interest. Although the word "when" is strange, it actually contains two meanings: when did the past years end? When will the rest of the robbery end?
This shows his attitude towards life. "The small building was easterly again last night" more specifically confirmed the fact that spring flowers and autumn moons can't end. From the small building to the old country, the word "unbearable" is the passionate language in my heart.
In the Moonlight not only echoes the "moon" of the phrase "spring flowers and autumn moon", but also covers the small building, the old country and life in the eternal moonlight, so Li Yu's personal sorrow naturally matches the great sorrow of mankind.
It is wrong to inherit the bright moon of the old country in a new guise. The six sentences of the whole word so far are paired comparisons, which write a huge contrast between eternity and impermanence and express the author's thinking about the relationship between the universe and life.
However, Li Yu, who is weak and weak, can't inspire enterprising passion. He can only indulge his sad mood before he dies, immerse himself in this endless sad song of life, and wait quietly for the grand finale of life to play.
Ma Mo asked himself and answered himself in two sentences, comparing abstract sorrow to concrete running water, and writing that sorrow is endless, endless and unstoppable. Li Yu used to compare sadness with water before, but this sentence is not only novel, but also appropriate and powerful.
The author introduces:
Li Yu (August, 937 15-August, 978 13), the sixth son of Li Jing, Yuan Zong of the Southern Tang Dynasty (that is, the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty), was originally named Shigemitsu, and was named Zhong Yin, a lay man with the wind.
Han nationality, from Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) and Pengcheng (now tongshan district, Xuzhou, Jiangsu), was the last monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty (96 1), Li Yu succeeded to the throne, respected the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty, and paid tribute at the age of 20 to protect peace.
In October of the fourth year of Kaibao (97 1), Song Taizu destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty, and Li Yu was renamed as "Jiangnan Master" except surnamed tang. The following year, the ritual system was derogatory, and the kiss in the Imperial Palace in Jinling was cancelled to show respect for Song Ting.
In the eighth year of Kaibao (975), Li Yubing was defeated by the Song Dynasty, captured to Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan Province), made a general, and ordered him to disobey orders. On July 7th, the third year of Taiping and Xingguo (978), Li Yu died in Bianjing, and was posthumously awarded a surname and a prince of Wu.
The world called it Li Houzhu, Queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu is versatile, good at painting, good at poetry and lyrics, and has a good understanding of rhythm, especially the achievements of lyrics. There are more than 30 poems by Li Yu, which can be divided into two periods in content.
The former words mainly reflect the court life and the love between men and women, and the style is beautiful and soft. Although he didn't break away from the habits of Huajian School, he has greater artistic generalization power than Huajian Ci writers in the description of characters and scenes.
In some words, there is also a strong sadness (such as "Qing Ping Le Bielai Spring Half"); The late ci reflects the pain of national subjugation, which is sad and desolate, with far-reaching artistic conception and great artistic appeal.
Li Yu is good at appreciation and has a rich collection of books. There are tens of thousands of books of calligraphy and painting in the palace, including many original calligraphy posts by Zhong You and Wang Xizhi. All public and private collections are printed with the words "Collection in Inner Hall", "Treasure of Jianye Study" and "Jixian Temple Academy". , or a signature inscription, or a miscellaneous poem.
