This poem is from Untitled by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty:
The stars were bright last night, but there was a cool breeze at midnight. Our banquet is on the side of Hualou Temple and the east of the county.
Without Cai Feng's wings, it is impossible to be Qi Fei in fly with me; The heart is like a soul, and the feelings are the same.
Guessing and intrigue, wine warms the heart; This group of people came to the bet of drinking friends, and a win-lose red in candlelight.
Alas, it's time to call the roll in the morning when you hear the drums of the fifth watch; Riding to Lantai is like the wind in the wind.
This poem is based on psychological activities, and the poet's feelings are delicate and true, depicting an emotion that can be understood but cannot be expressed in words. The first sentence was written in tortuous pen and ink about the party last night. A night intoxicated by the spring breeze is full of tranquility and romantic warmth. The poet didn't even write a clear place, but was set off by the surrounding environment. What happened in such a wonderful moment and charming environment, the poet just kept it in his heart alone, but we were involuntarily moved by the amorous feelings shown in the poem.
The second sentence is about today's acacia. The poet has separated from the right person. He hates that he has no colorful phoenix wings and can fly to his lover. But their hearts are as close as supernatural rhinoceros horns. There is sweetness in pain and expectation in loneliness. Combining the distress of lovesickness with the comfort of soul mate, it vividly depicts the complex and subtle mentality of a pair of lovers who love each other deeply but can't stay together for a long time. This couplet has become a famous sentence through the ages.
The third sentence is about the excitement at the banquet. Yesterday's laughter is still ringing in my ears, and today's banquet may continue, but there are no poets. The enthusiasm of the banquet set off the poet's loneliness and desolation.
The last sentence describes the helplessness of people in the Jianghu, explains the reasons for leaving beautiful women, and also reveals the boredom of work, implying the feeling of declining life experience.

Caught in the struggle between Niu and Li, I was frustrated all my life. After his death, he was buried in his hometown of Qinyang (now the junction of Qinyang and Aibo County in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province). His works are included in Li Yishan's poems.
