This is a eulogy. Going to the top is a meditation on the present and the present, and going to the bottom is a memory of the past; The first half is the loneliness of Nalanxingde here and now, and the second half is the short and infinite joy of Nalanxingde and his wife in just three years.
Shang Kun wrote about loneliness and desolation after losing his wife. The first sentence begins with the feeling of seasonal changes. The west wind is getting tighter and the chill is invading people. In late autumn, if in the past, Lu would urge poets to add clothes to avoid catching cold and getting sick. But at this time of the year, Lu has been buried in the loess, separated by Yin and Yang, and she can no longer make the bed for the poet and care about him. "Who reads the west wind alone?" The answer to this rhetorical question is self-evident, mixing the ambivalence of expectation and disappointment.
Xia Gan naturally wrote the poet's recollection of the past. The first two sentences recall two fragments of his wife's life at home: the first sentence describes her meticulous consideration and concern for herself. She drank too much wine and fell asleep in the spring. Her wife was afraid of disturbing his good dream, so she spoke softly and didn't dare to disturb him. The latter sentence describes the pleasure of a husband and wife's elegant life. Husband and wife bet on the book with tea and pointed out to each other that something was on a page of the book. Whoever can say for sure will raise a glass to drink tea for fun, so that tea will spill all over the floor and the room will smell of tea.
This episode of life is very similar to the scene when Li Qingzhao, a famous poet, and her husband Zhao Mingcheng gambled on books, which shows that their lives are full of poetry and happiness.
