From "Breaking through the Huanxi Sand·Hand-rolled Pearls with Jade Hooks" by Li Jing, a poet of the Five Dynasties, the original text is as follows:
Hand-rolled pearls with jade hooks lock the heavy building in accordance with the hatred of the previous spring. Who is the master of the flowers falling in the wind? Thinking leisurely.
The bluebird does not convey the message from the clouds, and the lilacs are empty and full of sorrow in the rain. Looking back at the green waves of San Chu and Mu, they connect to the sky.
Translation:
Gently roll up the pearl door curtain and hang it on the jade hook. Looking at the spring scenery outside the door, I couldn't help but feel sad, covering the entire tall building. The delicate flowers are drifting in the wind, and the late spring scenery in front of me makes my thoughts misty and a little bit sad. The blue bird cannot bring back any news of the person I miss far away, and the lilac flowers blooming in the rain bloom with sorrow and resentment. The green water waves rush down from the Three Gorges in a mighty way. Looking from a distance, the green waves are connected with the vast twilight. The sky is thousands of miles long, and the water and sky are the same color.
Poetry Appreciation
The poem uses subtle and profound feelings to describe the natural scenery of green lotus leaves and green waves in the west wind, expressing the sorrow of autumn in distant nostalgia. What is unbearable to look at is the withered autumn scenery, as well as the haggard face of the owner, depressed and frustrated, and the pen is full of energy.
Changing heads and leaving the house, I recall my lover beyond the Great Wall from far away, and imitate the mood of my master closely. I feel cold and sad. Countless tears represent infinite sorrow and hatred. "Leaning on the railing" not only contains endless meanings, but also is the prerequisite for seeing. Looking at the scenery while leaning on the railing, you can feel both the scenery and the emotions. The scenes blend together, making the whole poem become one.
