Memories of drinking at the noon bridge in those days are full of heroes. Moonlight reflected on the river, quietly passed away with the water, and in the faint shadow of apricot flowers, bamboo flutes blew until dawn. Twenty years seems like a spring dream. Although I am here, I look back with trepidation. Bored, I boarded the attic to watch the new rain. Throughout the ages, many historical stories have made fishermen sing in the middle of the night.
Appreciation of Linjiang Fairy:
By recalling the amusement in Luoyang, this word expresses the author's grief over the country's demise and the loneliness of wandering around. Through contrast and lively style, through memories of old life, I expressed my deep feelings after the national subjugation in the Northern Song Dynasty. A few strokes, the self-image outlined is quite full.
Creation background
This song Linjiang Fairy was probably written by 1 135 (Shaoxing five years) or 1 136 (Shaoxing six years) when Chen retired from the monastery in Qingdun town. The author was forty-six or forty-seven. Chen, a native of Luoyang, recalled his trip to Luoyang more than 20 years ago, when it was in the year of peace. At that time, the world was peaceful and there was joy in enjoying the tour.
Later, the nomads from the Southern Song Dynasty went south and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Chen fled, really waiting for a taste. However, after the Southern Song Dynasty moved to the south, the court could only stand on its own feet and look back on the past 20 years. That's mixed feelings.
