The emotion expressed in "Speechless and Alone on the West Tower" is expressed in the word "Speechless", which vividly depicts the sad expression of the poet. There is a lot of loneliness and sadness hidden deep in people's hearts that cannot be talked about, which comes from "Happy Meeting: Speechless Alone on the West Tower".
Author: Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty (doubtful)
Speechlessly, I went up to the west tower alone, the moon was like a hook. The lonely Wutong deep courtyard locks Qingqiu.
Continuous cutting and confusion are the symptoms of divorce. Don't just have the ordinary taste in your heart. ?
Vernacular translation
Silent and lonely, I slowly climbed up the empty west building alone.
Looking up at the sky, there is only the cold moon that is as curved as a hook.
Looking down, I saw the sycamore tree alone in the courtyard, and the deep courtyard was shrouded in the cold and desolate autumn colors.
What makes people feel confused and confused is the pain of country subjugation.
The lingering sorrow lingers in my heart, but it is another kind of indescribable pain.
Creative background
In 975 (the eighth year of Kaibao), the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu lost his family and the country. He surrendered and was imprisoned in Bianjing to await his punishment. Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, rejected Li Yu because he had once guarded the city, and named him a "disobedient lord".
Li Yu lived a life of a prisoner with humiliation and humiliation. Li Yu's poems are divided into two phases based on being captured. The later poems mostly express the pain of losing the country and the thoughts of leaving the country, which are melancholy, sad and touching. "Happy Meeting" is a very representative piece of later poetry.
