Meet Yan and go to the west building alone.
Don
Alone in the west wing, the moon is like a hook. Lonely phoenix tree deep courtyard locks clear autumn.
Cutting is still messy, which is parting from sorrow. It's not just the general taste.
Translation:
Silent and lonely, I slowly boarded the empty west building alone. Looking up at the sky, there is only one bend in Leng Yue. Looking down, I saw the lonely plane tree in the yard, and the deep courtyard was shrouded in cold and desolate autumn colors.
It's the pain of national subjugation, and it's been cut all the time. That long sadness is entangled in my heart, but it is another kind of unspeakable pain.
Creation background
In 975 (the eighth year of Kaibao), the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Song Dynasty, and Li Yu lost his family and country, and his flesh was bare, so he was imprisoned in Bianjing. Zhao Kuangyin and Song Taizu, because Li Yu refused to guard the city, called him "disobedient". Li Yu's poems in his later years poured out the pain and thoughts of national subjugation, which were sad and touching. Meeting You Huan is a very representative one of his later works.
Li Yu's first poem is full of scenes and feelings. In the first movie, typical scenery is chosen to pave the way for the expression and rendering of feelings, while in the next movie, sincere feelings are expressed tactfully and implicitly through the metaphor of images. The whole poem is forceful and appropriately expresses the poet's sad and depressed feelings.
