At that time, I was drunk for a poem "Plum Blossoms in the West of Jincheng" by Lu You, a poet of the Song Dynasty. Lu You was a famous writer in ancient China. His poems often describe the little things in life and are full of life breath.
In those days, the poem "Walking to the West Exit of Jincheng" said that when the poet recalled being in Chengdu, he was riding a horse and wandering in the west of Jinguan City. Jincheng here refers to Chengdu, because Chengdu is also known as Jinguan City, which shows the poet's high spirits when he was young.
The poem "I am Drunken by Plum Blossoms" depicts the poet being intoxicated by Plum Blossoms and almost unable to extricate himself. Plum blossom is one of the common images in Lu You's poems. He often uses plum blossoms to symbolize noble and elegant qualities. Drunk as mud here describes the poet's obsession and intoxication with plum blossoms, just like the feeling of being on cloud nine after drinking too much.
Generally speaking, this poem, through memory and description, shows the poet's nostalgia for roaming Chengdu and enjoying plum blossoms when he was young. At the same time, it also shows his appreciation and pursuit of beautiful things, as well as his love and persistence in life.

I traveled to Jincheng West and got drunk for plum blossoms.
Twenty miles later, Qingyang Palace went to Huanhuaxi.
When I rode through the west of Jinguan City that year, I was intoxicated by the gorgeous plum blossoms, where I enjoyed drinking and got drunk.
From Qingyang Palace to Huanhuaxi, the fragrance of plum blossoms never stops, which is intoxicating.
