"I bid farewell to Zhong Lin drunk for more than ten years, and saw Yunying again. I am not famous yet married, so I may not be as good as others."
This is Luo Yin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. of a poem. He was not an official all his life. After many years of wandering, he returned to this place and met Yunying, a prostitute whom he had known back then. Yunying laughed at him as he was still a white lady, so he wrote the song "Giving to the Prostitute Yunying".
The legend goes like this: According to legend, Luo Yin, a scholar, went to Beijing for the first time to take part in the imperial examination and sat at the Zhongling Banquet with the singer Yunying. Twelve years later, he still failed the exam. He met Yunying again and was laughed at, so he wrote this poem as an answer. One is a failed scholar, and the other is an old singer. Although their status is very different, their fate is similar.
Some poetry commentators said that these two sentences are not so much a mockery of Yunying as a way of mocking herself. In fact, if you don't think about it from Luo Yin's side, but from Yunying's side, it should be more interesting.
Luo Yin compares becoming famous with getting married, which shows that in the eyes of the ancients, marrying a woman is as important as taking the exam to be a scholar. Ten years have passed, and Yunying still has not accomplished her career. Luo Yin I can't help but feel that we are both in the same world. Seeing Yunying again means that we can see that neither you nor I have succeeded in our careers, so why would you bother to ridicule me?
