The literal explanation is: I have reached the end of the road and thought there was no way out, but suddenly I saw a village behind the fluttering willow leaves and flowers. It implies that the author has hope for the future. LZ might as well take a look at the author Lu You’s background in writing this poem. The poem was written in the early spring of the third year of Emperor Xiaozong's reign in Song Dynasty (1167). At that time, Lu You was resigning from office and living at home. A year ago, Lu You actively supported the anti-Jin general Zhang Jun's Northern Expedition in the second year of Longxing (1164). After Fuli's defeat, he was also ostracized and attacked by the central government and the surrender faction. He "strongly persuaded Zhang Jun to use troops". For the crime, he was dismissed from his post in Longxing Mansion (now Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province) and returned home. Lu You's mood when he returned to his hometown was quite complicated, with depression and anger intertwined, but he was not disheartened. The patriotic sentiment of "Heart of generosity is strong" ("Hearing the Rain") made him feel hope and light in rural life, and he poured this feeling into his poetry creation.
