Liangzhou song
(Tang) Wang Zhihuan
The Yellow River is getting farther and farther away, because it flows in the middle of the Yellow River, and Yumenguan is located on a lonely mountain.
Why use the elegy of willow to complain about the delay of spring, old Yumenguan, a spring breeze is not blowing!

Liangzhou Ci: Also known as Chusai. Lyrics for Liangzhou, a popular song at that time. There are Liangzhou songs in Guo Maoqian's Yuefu Poetry (Volume 79) and modern lyrics, and Yuan Yue is quoted as saying: "Liangzhou, Gongdiao Song, Governor of Kaiyuan Liangfu Guo Zhiyun, Chinese and Western." Liangzhou, the seat of the Tang Dynasty Liangzhou viceroy (now Liangzhou District, Wuwei City, Gansu Province).
Three or four sentences, which Yang Shen thought contained irony in Ming Dynasty. He said in the poem "Sheng 'an": "This poem is not as kind as the frontier fortress. The so-called military gate is far more than Wan Li." When the author writes that there is no spring breeze there, it is a natural metaphor that the supreme ruler living in the bustling imperial city is not sympathetic to the people's feelings and ignores the soldiers guarding the border in Yumenguan.
China's ancient poetry has always had a tradition of "happiness", not to mention "poetry fails to express its meaning". We think readers can't help but understand this point, but we are not sure whether the author really means it. Since the spring breeze outside Yumenguan can't blow, the willow outside Yumenguan naturally won't spit leaves. What's the use of complaining about it?
