"Cut constantly, also disorderly, is sorrow. Especially the general taste in my heart "refers to the constant cutting, for unknown reasons, which makes people feel confused and is the pain of national subjugation." "That kind of long sadness is wrapped around my heart, but it is another kind of unspeakable pain.
2. Original text
Meet Huan
Yu Li
Alone in the west wing, the moon is like a hook. Lonely phoenix tree deep courtyard locks clear autumn.
Cutting is still messy, which is parting from sorrow. It's not just the general taste.
3. Translation
Silent and lonely, I slowly boarded the empty west building alone.
Looking up at the sky, there is only one bend in Leng Yue.
Looking down, I saw the lonely plane tree in the yard, and the deep courtyard was shrouded in cold and desolate autumn colors.
It's the pain of national subjugation, and it's been cut all the time.
That long sadness is entangled in my heart, but it is another kind of unspeakable pain.
4. Brief analysis
It is a famous work of Li Yu (doubtful), the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to meet each other late and go to the West Building alone without saying anything. The epigraph is to meet each other, but to sing the sorrow of parting. This is what the author did when he was imprisoned in Song State. The dazzling sadness in his poems is just an episode after his court life. Because he had already surrendered to the Song Dynasty, what he showed here was the pain of his heart when he left his hometown to serve his country. This poem is true, profound and natural, which breaks through the beautiful and greasy style of Huajian Ci in writing "women's language" and is the pioneering work of graceful and restrained Ci in the early Song Dynasty.
