Su Shi's wife, Wang Fu, died on 1055 at the age of 27. They have lived together for eleven years and have deep feelings. The departure of Wang Fu is a very heavy blow to Su Shi.
The word "Dream on the 20th day of the first month of Jiang" was written by Su Shi after seeing Wang Fu in his dream, which truly expressed Su Shi's deep yearning for Wang Fu and his understanding of the impermanence of life.
"Ten years of life and death, I don't think about it, I will never forget it, I will walk thousands of miles in the grave alone. Nowhere is it sad. " These four poems express Su Shi's deep memory of Wang Fu and his desolate feelings about lonely life. Although he has tried his best to control his feelings, he still can't forget his thoughts about Wang Fu. And "lonely grave thousands of miles away, desolate and nowhere to talk about" expresses his loneliness and desolation, which makes people deeply sympathize.
The above is the writing background of this poem, I hope it will help you.
