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.
Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun.
A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it. ?
Translation:
Why do exquisite musical instruments have fifty strings, each of which reminds me of my youth?
Zhuang Zhou danced in his sleep and turned into a butterfly, hoping that the emperor would entrust his hatred to Du Fu.
The moon, the sea and Jiao Ren shed tears, and the jade in Lantian can only turn into smoke when it is warm.
Why do you want to recall this scene at this time, just because my heart was just at a loss at that time.

About the author:
Li Shangyin (about 813-about 858) was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The word Yishan was born in Yuxi. A native of Hanoi, Huaizhou (now Qinyang, Henan). Driving into a Jinshi. He used to be county commandant, secretary of Lang, and judge of Dongchuan Festival. Influenced by the struggle between Niu and Li, he was marginalized and impoverished all his life. His poems about history are full of satire on current politics, and untitled poems are very famous. He is good at discipline, rich in literary talent, rigorous in conception, graceful in emotion and unique in style. But there are too many useful classics and their meanings are obscure. They are called "arts and sciences" with Wen and "Little Du Li" with Du Mu. There are poems by Li Yishan.
Creative background:
Li Shangyin is talented and quick-thinking. He was admitted to a scholar in his early twenties. He was jealous of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and was not brushed off. Since then, he has never met his talent. In the "Niu Li Party Struggle", the two sides are in a dilemma, full of doubts, repeatedly rejected, and their ambitions are difficult to achieve. Losing his wife in middle age, expressing his feelings by writing poems, is despised by people. The poem Jinse was written by the author in his later years.
Appreciate:
The title of this poem is Jinse, but it does not directly describe musical instruments. Li Shangyin symbolizes the transience and impermanence of life through fifty strings, and each string represents an experience of life. The poet used "every flower is the interval of youth" to express his nostalgia for the lost time.
The appearance of allusions such as Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly and Wang's Spring Heart not only increases the cultural connotation of poetry, but also makes poetry more artistic.
Among them, "Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-like green sea" expresses the poet's nostalgia for the lost time with allusions, and "Blue fields breathe their jade to the sun" expresses his yearning for beautiful love.
The last two sentences, "and a moment that should last forever, came and went unconsciously", expressed the poet's regret for his outstanding talent and the passage of time. This feeling is also how many people feel when facing the passage of time. The whole poem is beautiful in language and profound in artistic conception, which is a classic in China's classical poetry.
