Vernacular translation of Tang Yin's fallen petal poems

Translation:

There is no need to exaggerate the colorful scenery. Today, a butterfly flew to a neighbor's house. Unfortunately, Wang Zhaojun met the painter Mao Yanshou and changed his fate. Emperor Taizong failed to catch Chen Houzhu's beloved princess Zhang Lihua and put her to death. The deep courtyard locks up youth in vain, and the wild sun is about to set.

Although the scenery of the small bridge near the village is beautiful, the village is very depressed and no one lives there. There is no warbler in the street, only frogs are chirping.

Appreciation of fallen petal poems:

Tang Yin's Poem of Falling Flowers describes the loneliness and sadness of life in beautiful language, and records the process of a beautiful life struggling in a harsh living environment. This poem truly reveals the poet's hidden feelings and vaguely reveals the loneliness and sadness in the soul of intellectuals after waking up from their dreams.

Tang Yin's pursuit of life is permeated with the frustration, sadness, helplessness and loneliness of the last literati. His poetry creation shows the world an unruly Jiangnan genius's doubt and denial of the traditional life path and his individual pursuit of new value realization.

The writing background of fallen petal poems;

Yin is extremely clever and brilliant. At the age of 29, she won the first place in the provincial examination. When he entered Beijing at the age of 30, he was imprisoned for taking bribes in Xu Jing. From then on, he not only had no hope of fame and fortune, but also had a thin livelihood. He turned against his wife and soon exchanged a meal with his younger brother. It can be said that he is extremely down and out.

Tang Yin was thirty-five when he wrote the fallen petal poem. It's only five years since he was expelled from the imperial examination hall, and he has just experienced a low point in his life.
