Original text:
The stars were bright last night, but there was a cool breeze at midnight. Our banquet is on the side of Hualou Temple and the east of the county.
Without Cai Feng's wings, it is impossible to be Qi Fei in fly with me; The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are the same.
Guessing and intrigue, wine warms the heart; This group of people came to the bet of drinking friends, and a win-lose red in candlelight.
Alas, it's time to call the roll in the morning when you hear the drums of the fifth watch; Riding to Lantai is like the wind in the wind.

The first couplet twists and turns about last night's party. "Last night's star, last night's wind" is time: the night is very low, the stars shine, and the cool wind blows gently. A night intoxicated by the spring breeze is full of tranquility and romantic warmth. The two "last night" in the sentence are self-righteous, reciprocating, and the tone is soothing, almost thrilling. "The west of the studio and the east of Guixiangtang" is the location: the west of the exquisite painting building and the east of Guimutang. The poet didn't even write a clear place, but was set off by the surrounding environment. What happened in such a wonderful moment and charming environment, the poet just kept it in his heart alone, but we were involuntarily moved by the amorous feelings shown in the poem.
Zhuan Xu writes about today's lovesickness. The poet has separated from the right person. "Although my body doesn't have wings like Cai Feng" wrote the longing for love and the pain of lovesickness: I hate that I don't have wings like Cai Feng, and I can fly to my lover. "However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn" describes the depth of mutual understanding: their hearts are as close as magical rhinoceros horns. "Body without body" and "mind with body" are contradictory and wonderful unity of one outside and one inside, one sorrow and one joy. There is sweetness in pain, expectation in loneliness, and the combination of lovesickness and soul-to-soul comfort vividly depicts the complex and subtle mentality of a pair of lovers who love each other deeply but can't be together forever. This couplet has become a famous sentence through the ages.
The necklace couplet "across the spring-wine, while it warms me up, I'll remind you how to bet that shooting in a separate camp covered with wax lights is red" is the excitement written at the banquet. This should be a party attended by both poets and beautiful women. At the banquet, people played the game of hooking and shooting in groups every other seat, and there were flowers, lights and wine everywhere. Yesterday's laughter is still ringing in my ears, and today's banquet may continue, but there are no poets. The enthusiasm of the banquet set off the poet's loneliness, which was rather bleak. "The excitement is theirs, and I have nothing."
The author of "Until the drums beat, alas, call me to Beijing, I got on the horse and left like a cut grass" is helpless in the Jianghu: unfortunately, when I heard the drums announce the dawn, I was going to be an official, and I went in and out of the secretary province like grass dancing in the wind. This sentence should explain the reason for leaving a beautiful woman, and at the same time reveal the boredom of any job, suggesting the feeling of being down and out in life.
The whole poem takes psychological activities as the starting point, and the poet's feelings are delicate and true, depicting an emotion that can be understood but cannot be expressed in words, which is confusing and fascinating.
Li Shangyin (Tang Dynasty poet)
Li Shangyin (about 8 13-858), born in western Henan (xi), Fan Nansheng, originally from Hanoi, Huaizhou (now Qinyang, Henan) [1], and his grandparents moved to Xingyang (now Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Henan). A famous poet in late Tang Dynasty.
In the second year of Tang Wenzong (837), Li Shangyin became the first scholar, and served as secretary of the provincial school, bookkeeper of the school and commander of Hongnong. Because he was involved in the political whirlpool of "the dispute between Niu and Li", he was excluded and frustrated all his life. In the last years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (about 858), Li Shangyin died in Zhengzhou and was buried at the foot of Beishan Mountain in Dongyuan Tsinghua. His ancestral home was Yongdian, Huaizhou (now Wangzhuang Town, Qinyang Mountain).
Li Shangyin was one of the few poets who deliberately pursued the beauty of poetry in the late Tang Dynasty and even the whole Tang Dynasty. He is good at poetry writing, and parallel prose has high literary value. He was called "Little Du Li" with Du Mu and "Wen Li" with Wen. His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems are touching, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems are too obscure to be solved, and there is even a saying that "poets always love Quincy and hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng".
