When will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop?

Warm winds make tourists drunk and make Hangzhou a continent.

This is a political satire written on the wall of a hotel in Lin 'an. The appellation of Lin 'an House shows the society at that time. In 1 126, the Jin people captured Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and captured two emperors, Huizong and Qinzong. The territory of the Central Plains was completely occupied by the Jin people. Zhao Gou fled to the south of the Yangtze River and ascended the throne in Lin 'an, which is known as the Southern Song Dynasty. The small court in the Southern Song Dynasty did not accept the painful lesson of national subjugation in the Northern Song Dynasty and made great efforts to strengthen itself. The rulers did not want to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, but only wanted to settle down and surrender to the outside world, and brutally persecuted Yue Fei and other patriots at home. Politically corrupt and incompetent, dignitaries indulge in debauchery and pleasure. This poem is written for this dark reality. It pours out the indignation pent up in the hearts of the broad masses of people, and also expresses the poet's deep concern for the fate of the country and the nation.
