Xixi is a five-character poem written by Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem is a sad work of the poet in his later years. The theme of this poem is the theme of the first couplet, lamenting that you can only travel alone without company, which corresponds to the "silence" at the end, which can be described as the poetic eye of this poem.
Writing daily life can only be as bitter as Liu Yun's poems, or as sad and tearful as Yang Zhu's, because there is no way to worry about being worried, and write the bitterness of life. Writing can only be friends with wild cranes and cold pines, which also highlights the loneliness of life. It can also be seen that the poet is tired of the secular world around him. The poet thinks that the wild cranes on the outskirts of Xixi are far more cold and relaxed than those in the secular world, and they are his confidants, which shows the poet's aloof character.
Li Shangyin, author of Xixi? the Tang Dynasty
Looking down at the water in Xixi, I can't finish talking about Nair River.
There are few things in spring and many sunsets.
Color dyed demon willow, light containing slim radish.
From the world to the ocean, the sky is just a river.
Phoenix girl plays Yao instrument, Longyang rocks jade.
He dreams of Beijing at night so that he can send clouds and waves.
Translation:
Xixi in this suburb has the most beautiful scenery, but who can share the wine with me? Bitter love poems are more fascinating than Liu Yun's. He is as worried and worried as Yang Zhu all day. We can only make friends with wild cranes, be a gentleman among birds, and kowtow to doctors in the mountains with teacher Han Song. Wandering around the ends of the earth is often not good, but this lonely and sparse life is better than noise.
