Alone in the west wing, the moon is like a hook. Lonely phoenix tree deep courtyard, lock clear autumn.
Cutting is still messy, which is parting from sorrow. It's not just the general taste.

Translation:
Lonely people are silent and slowly climb up the west building alone. Looking up at the sky, the waning moon is like a hook. The buttonwood trees in the courtyard are lonely, and the deep courtyard is shrouded in cold and desolate autumn colors.
It's the pain of national subjugation, and it's been cut all the time. This kind of worry about divorce and missing is another flavor in my mind now.
Extended data:
This poem was written by the author when he was imprisoned in the Song Dynasty. The dazzling sadness in the poem is just an episode after his court life. Because he has surrendered to the Song Dynasty, what he shows here is the pain of leaving his hometown for his country. This poem is true and profound, breaking through the beautiful and greasy style of Huajian Ci writing "women's language", and it is the first work of the graceful school in the early Song Dynasty.
"Going to the West Building Alone without Words" introduces characters into the picture. The word "silence" vividly depicts the poet's sad expression, and the word "independence" outlines the figure of the author climbing the building alone. The lonely poet climbed up the west wing alone in silence. The description of demeanor and movements reveals a lot of loneliness and sadness hidden in the poet's heart.
