I thank you for your love and pin the pearl on my red shirt.
My home is connected with the imperial garden, and my husband is on duty in the palace with a halberd.
Although I know you are sincere to Lang Lang, I have vowed to share my life and death with my husband.
Return your double beads, my eyes are full of tears, and I regret not meeting you before I got married.
Author Zhang Ji, whose name is Wenchang, is from Suzhou. In the fifteenth year of Tang Zhenyuan, he was a scholar, and the official worshipped Taizhu Hall and moved to the doctor. On the recommendation of Han Yu, he was awarded the post of Dr. Guo Zi. Many celebrities were happy to travel with him at that time.
In Dongping, there is a teacher Li Si Tu, father and son, separated by one side. It was the most domineering buffer zone at that time. Li Shidao admires Zhang Ji's knowledge very much and wants to recruit him to work for himself.
Although Zhang Ji is an honest official, he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and even more reluctant to associate with disorderly ministers. He often makes mistakes in writing poems and is very comfortable. Zhang Ji couldn't directly refuse Li Shidao's recruitment, so he wrote a song "Ode to Saving Women" for Li Situ:
You know I have a husband and you want to give me a pair of pearls.
I thank you for your love and pin the pearl on my red shirt.
My home is connected with the imperial garden, and my husband is on duty in the palace with a halberd.
Although I know you are sincere to Lang Lang, I have vowed to share my life and death with my husband.
Return your double beads, my eyes are full of tears, and I regret not meeting you before I got married.
Literally, this is a sad and beautiful poem, which often quotes the famous sentence "I want to return your tears to your pearls, and I hate not meeting you before I get married" to express my deep affection for others, because time and things can't match, so I can only reluctantly refuse.
At that time, Zhang Ji, the intention of this poem, refused to hire. When Li Shidao saw it, he had to give up and no longer reluctantly.
