Lu You was from the Song Dynasty.
Lu You (1125-1210): a writer, historian and patriotic poet in the Song Dynasty. Lu You was born when the Northern Song Dynasty was overthrown, and he was deeply influenced by his family's patriotism when he was young. Lu You kept writing all his life and made great achievements in both poetry and prose. His poems have easy-to-understand language and neat and rigorous composition. They combine Li Bai's majesty and unrestrainedness with Du Fu's melancholy and desolation. In particular, their patriotic enthusiasm has a profound impact on later generations. His representative works include "Reading on a Winter Night to Show Ziyu", "Book Angry", "The Wind and Rain on November 4th", "Visiting Shanxi Village", etc.
"Winter Night Reading Shows Ziyu" is a seven-character quatrain written by Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty in his later years. This is a philosophical poem that contains the poet's profound educational ideas and also expresses the poet's ardent expectations for his children.
