Two Poems of Shenyuan in Song Dynasty: Lu You
On the city, the setting sun painted a sad corner, and Shenyuan did not revive the old pool platform.
Under the sad bridge, the spring waves were green, and it used to be a stunning photo.
forty years after a dream is broken, the willow in the garden never blows cotton.
this trip is a tribute to the mountains, but it is still a trace of death.
Translation:
The sound of corner painting on the city wall seems to be mourning, and the Shen Garden is no longer the original pavilion.
The spring water under the sad bridge is still green, and I have seen her beautiful shadow floating here like a rainbow.
It has been more than forty years since she died, and the willow trees in Shenyuan are too old to spit and blow cotton.
I'm about to turn into a mound of dirt in Huiji Mountain, and I still come here to mourn my death and shed tears.
Creative background:
The greatest personal misfortune of Lu You's life is the love tragedy with his wife Tang Wan. According to Qi Dong Ye Yu and other books and close research, Lu You married Tang Wan, the daughter of his mother's uncle, at the age of 2 in the fourteenth year of Gaozong Shaoxing (1144), and after marriage, the couple got along, but Lu Mu didn't like her daughter-in-law, and eventually she was forced to divorce about three years after marriage. After Tang remarried to Zhao Shicheng, Lu You also married Wang. In the spring of the 25th year of Shaoxing, Lu You was thirty-one, and accidentally met the Tang and Zhao couples in the Shen Garden south of Yuji Temple. Tang used Zhao as a language to send wine and food. Lu disappointed for a long time, in order to assign the word "Hairpin Phoenix". After seeing it, Tang also sang a song. From then on, he was unhappy and soon died with regret. Since then, Lu You has aggravated the trauma of the soul, and his mourning has always been smoldering. In the past 5 years, he has written many mourning poems one after another, among which Two Poems of Shenyuan are the most popular.
"Wild Tales in the East of Qi" says: "Weng lives in the three mountains of Jianhu Lake. Every time he enters the city at the end of the year, he must climb the temple to look out, but he can't win the love, and he is endowed with two unique clouds." Gai Qingyuan has nothing left. " According to this, this group of poems was written in Song Ningzong Qingyuan five years ago (1199), when Lu You was seventy-five years old.
