The 03 festive season brings homesickness
"New Year's Work"
Liu Changqing of the Tang Dynasty
My hometown heart is keen on the new year, and the sky is alone with tears.
When you grow old, you live among others, and when you return in spring, you come first.
The mountains and apes are in the same day and evening, and the rivers and willows are surrounded by wind and smoke.
It’s like Changsha Fu, a few years from now.
New Year's Day should have been a happy day, but the poet Liu Changqing had just been demoted, which made the occasion even more melancholy. The first couplet of this poem expresses emotions. The desire to return home cannot be realized, and sadness and loneliness come to my face. The chin couplet laments that spring is coming before me, and even spring is not willing to be with me. The neck couplet describes the surrounding scenes, and I am in a lonely situation. Sad and sad, I am surrounded only by ling apes. Finally, in the mood of depression and loss, he let out a long sigh, comparing himself to Jia Yi, expressing his grief and indignation after being demoted. Such endless sorrow and frustration, grief and anger. Therefore, we must cherish the time we spend with our families, especially during the New Year's Day. Staying with our families is better than anything else.
