The whole poem is about a sudden encounter with an old friend. Looking back at the mountains and rivers, it is already autumn. The two places miss each other and are showered with snow. This life can be regarded as a golden age.
The author of this poem is Li Qingzhao, who is a famous poet.
Translation: Passing through the heart of an old friend, only a trace is left. When I finally look back, I realize that there are already many mountains and mountains, and the past is like smoke. Two people in different places miss each other in the snowy days. When the snow falls on their heads, they can be regarded as growing old together.
At that time, Li Qingzhao had just arrived in Hangzhou and was helpless. As a classmate of Zhao Mingcheng, Zhang Ruzhou got close to Li Qingzhao and took care of her in every possible way. This Zhang Ruzhou is from Zhejiang. He was a minor official in the Chiyang Army in his early years and became a Jinshi during the Weizong period of the Northern Song Dynasty. Later he became a minor official and gained Li Qingzhao's trust with his sweet words.
About 1155, Li Qingzhao passed away. He was 72 years old.
I met Zhao Mingcheng by chance. The young man fell in love and longed for a long life, but the road ended halfway. She devoted her whole life to her husband, but she was disgusted by her mother-in-law and was forced to separate from him. The country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and he was exiled to a different place. When he remarried, he met an adulterer. In his later years, he was alone, with no companions and no descendants, and fell into a miserable place. Looking back at the ups and downs of this life, it was like a dream, but in a trance, I saw a girl as bright as spring under the crabapple tree, singing immortal songs.
