Double Tune ·Falling Plum Blossoms
On a new autumn night, when I was slightly drunk, I was leaning on the railing alone in the moonlight [1]. I recited several couplets of heart-breaking poems [2], which are full of my thoughts.
Luan and phoenix match, Yingyan makes an appointment [3], I feel that Xiao Niang is willing to pity her talent and beauty [4]. Apart from the harp and sword, if there is no other precious treasure [5], do you want a sincere heart [6]?
Notes
[1] Leaning on the railing alone: ??The reverse text of "leaning on the railing alone" is for rhyme purposes. Li Yu's "Lang Tao Sha": "Don't lean on the railing alone, the country is unlimited, it's easy to say goodbye but hard to see."
[2] Heartbroken Poetry: Extremely sad poetry.
[3] Luan and phoenix match, Yingyan Yue: metaphor for the match between men and women, the love covenant.
[4] Xiao Niang: a general term for women after the Tang Dynasty. Zhou Bangyan's "Night Tour in the Palace": "Who knows, for Xiao Niang, I wrote a piece of paper."
[5] Qin and sword: the luggage of ancient intellectuals.
[6] "Just one piece" sentence: There is only one sincere heart. Very sincere, very sincere. "Book of Han·Biography of King Chu Yuan": "His words are very painful and come from the utmost sincerity.
