1. From Thinking
In the mirror of self-love makeup, the ring hairpin is full of green silk.
In a short while, rouge was shining on the cheek, and a red Su Xuan was about to melt.
Creation background:
Yuan Zhen's five poems of parting thoughts were all written in memory of his dead wife Wei Cong, and were written in the fourth year of Tang Xianzong Yuanhe (89). In the eighteenth year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dezong (82), Wei Cong married Yuan Zhen at the age of 2, and Yuan Zhen was deeply attached to her. Seven years later, Wei Cong died of illness. After Wei Cong's death, Yuan Zhen wrote many mourning works. This group of poems expressed his loyalty and nostalgia for Wei Cong.
2. Three Dreams in Jiangling
Every dream in my life, I don't know each other. The situation is secluded from the light, and the dream soul acts like a child.
it's useless to know the dream, not when you dream. Today is also a night, when the dream meets you.

My wife's condolences on the full moon
Hard work in October makes me sad in January, but now I see you in tears.
it's better to be sad when the wind falls than to be crushed by flowers.
