The background of Sheng Sheng Slow's writing
1127 AD (The second year of Emperor Qinzong’s reign in the Song Dynasty) In the fifth month of summer, Emperors Huizong and Qinzong were captured, and the Northern Song Dynasty died. Li Qingzhao's husband, Zhao Mingcheng, went south to Jinling in March of that year to attend his mother's funeral. In autumn and August, Li Qingzhao went south, carrying fifteen carts of books and came to meet him. Mingcheng's family lived in Qingzhou and owned more than ten houses with books. However, they were burned down due to the mutiny. The family was ruined and the country was destroyed. This was the unfortunate end. In August 1129 AD (the third year of Jianyan reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty), Zhao Mingcheng died of illness when Qingzhao was forty-six years old. The Jin soldiers invaded eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang. After Qingzhao buried her husband, she followed the exiled court from Jiankang (today's Nanjing City) to eastern Zhejiang, suffering the pain of displacement. He fled and ran away, and all his possessions were lost. The country was ruined, the family was ruined, and the husband died. The situation was extremely desolate. A series of blows made the author taste the pain of displacement, the hatred of the country's subjugation, the sorrow of losing her husband, and the pain of being a widow. The author concentrated in his heart and could not let go, so he wrote this poem. "Slow Voice".
Original text
Looking and searching, deserted and miserable. It is most difficult to breathe when it is suddenly warm and then cold. Three cups and two cups of light wine, how can I defeat him? The wind comes late and the wind comes in a hurry! The wild geese are passing by, and I am sad, but it is an old acquaintance.
The yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, and they are haggard and damaged. Who is worthy of picking them now? Watching the window, how can you be alone in darkness! The phoenix trees are covered with drizzle, and it rains bit by bit at dusk. This time, how could there be such a thing as "sorrow"!
Translation
Empty and without ideas, deserted and desolate, miserable and sad. How can I rest my body when I feel warm sometimes and cold sometimes? How can you resist the cold wind that comes in the evening by drinking three glasses of light wine? The wild geese heading south to escape the cold have flown over, but sadly it is an old acquaintance. I don’t recognize my old compatriots. The chrysanthemums are all withered and yellow, and I am so sad and haggard that I have no intention of admiring and cherishing the flowers. Now that the flowers are about to fade, who can pick them? Spending time in front of the window, hoping not to get dark. The drizzle is dripping on the sycamore leaves, and at dusk, the sound of rain is still dripping. How can one word "sorrow" be enough to describe this situation?
