When you ask about the return date, it's hard to say, evening rain, Manqiuchi. ?
When * * * cut the candle at the west window, but talk about the rain at night.
You asked me the date of my return to China, but it was difficult to decide. There is heavy rain in Bashan tonight, and the rain has filled the autumn pool. When can we have a long talk by candlelight and tell each other our thoughts in the rainy night tonight?
There are two opinions about who to write this poem for: friends and wives. The former thinks that Li Shangyin lived in Bashu when he was the aide of Dongchuan Ambassador from 39 to 43, but before that, his wife Wang had died. The holder believes that Li Shangyin has traveled to Bashu before this. Others think it is addressed to "family or friends". Judging from the passionate thoughts and sentimental feelings expressed in the poem, it seems more suitable for giving it to his wife.
The language of the work is concise and fluent, sincere and sincere. "Late Rain" appears repeatedly at the beginning and end, which is thrilling. "What to do" is closely related to "unexpired", which effectively shows the author's urgent mood of returning home.
