The Creative Background of Wu Ye Tiaowan Rice Juan Su Yue

This poem was written by Lu You from eight to twelve years (1181~1185) when Xichun in Song Xiaozong lived in his hometown Yinshan. When Lu You was forty-one years old in the first year of Song Xiaozong's main road (1 165), he bought a house in Yin Shan (now Shaoxing) near the Mirror Lake and in the West Village under Sanshan Mountain, and moved here the following year when he was sentenced to Longxing. The houses in the West Village are surrounded by mountains and rivers with beautiful scenery. He was cultivated by the scenery and his mood was relatively relaxed, so he went fishing. I lived at home for four years and left home for Shu in six years (1 170). In the past four years, I have written several poems describing rural life, Partridge Sky. Although this song "Wu Ye Tune" also describes rural life, it is different from the above-mentioned "Partridge Sky". "Wu Ye Tiao" was written when he returned from Shu, because of Changping tea and salt business on Jiangnan West Road. This word was written in early summer. He returned to Yin Shan this time, from fifty-seven years old in the eighth year of Xichun (11) to sixty-one years old in the twelfth year of Xichun (1 185), and lived for another five years. He wrote Prefaces to Long and Short Sentences in the sixteenth year of Xichun (1 189), saying that he had not written ci for several years, so his ci should be positive in recent years.
