I don't know if I am a dream guest, but I am insatiable in one day.
When Li Yu's grandfather was in office, he was eager to explore the Northern Expedition. After Li Yu's father ascended the throne, his mind about the Northern Expedition faded. Here, he completely abandoned this idea and enjoyed the legacy left by his grandfather and father.
As an emperor, Li Yu prefers to write poems and sing praises to the moon, and is neither good at nor interested in governing the country. He spent the first half of his life in the splendor of the court, and we can get a glimpse of his first half in his poem "Jade House Spring":
On a full moon night, the court is holding a dinner party. Gong E, who has just finished painting her evening makeup, is radiant and her skin is white. The beauty in the spring temple is like a cloud, and the sound of flute slowly echoes in the hall. After a dance, the clothes were put on again, and the sound of silk and bamboo continued for a long time.
When the song is over, the moonlight is brighter. Petals are floating in the wind, and Li Yu, who is drunk, leans against the railing and is full of interest. He immediately ordered his entourage to put out the red candle, mounted his horse and went home in the clear moonlight.
This word reflects Li Yu's romantic and extravagant court life. It is no wonder that Li Yu wrote the words "I didn't know until I played several times" after becoming a prisoner.
Li Yu is indifferent to political affairs, not to mention human suffering and battlefield conquest. He is used to the beauty of tea, but in the face of the enemy's sword, he can only sigh in vain and feel helpless.
Wang Guowei said that Li Yu was "born in the palace and grew up in the hands of women" in "The Thorn on Earth". This growing environment and his own characteristics doomed Li Yu to be an excellent emperor.
Li Yu's ci, especially after the national subjugation, enjoys a high evaluation in literature. Wang Guowei has always attached great importance to the artistic conception of ci. Wang Guowei said in "Ci on Earth" that "Ci became a master, but the vision began to broaden and the emotion became deep, so it became the words of literati." It can be seen that Li Yu's ci plays a fundamental role in the development of later Song Ci.
In the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Yi wrote in Poems of Mountain Heritage: "The unfortunate poets of the country are lucky, and they have been endowed with vicissitudes." Li Yu's coming here has become the misfortune of his family, country and individual, and created the luck of poetry.
Before the national subjugation, Li Yu was like an innocent child. He is immersed in his own world, enjoying the prosperity. Li Yu, who experienced the pain of national subjugation, seemed to "grow up" overnight. Everything in the past was like an unrealistic dream, until the dream was instantly shattered into ashes, and the disillusionment and desolation of life spread out in front of him, making him inevitable.
Li Yu lost everything overnight. The pain of national subjugation and the humiliation of the minister made this already sentimental monarch physically and mentally exhausted. After Li Yu was captured, he lived a sad life in Lacrimosa day and night. From then on, there was no joy in his poems, only longing for the motherland and eternal loneliness and disappointment.
Among Li Yu's later poems, my favorite is the song "Preface to Langtaosha":
The rain outside the curtain is gurgling, and the spring is fading. Allred-rochow is too cold to stand. I don't know if I am a dream guest, but I am insatiable in one day.
Don't lean against the fence alone, it is infinite, and it is easier to see when you are away. Running water is gone, and spring is gone.
When I woke up from my sleep, I heard the rain outside the curtain, and spring was coming to an end. Even the brocade quilt can't resist the chill of the fifth watch, and even the heart is cold. I dreamed that I had returned to my old country, and everything was the same as before. I forgot everything I have experienced now and coveted the happiness of that moment in my dream.
Looking from the railing, the scenery is hazy in the rain. I miss my old country in Jiangnan. It was so easy to leave it, but I never had a chance to go back and see its face. Spring follows the water, and heaven and earth are in harmony. Where will I go in the future?
Li Yu, who woke up from sleep, suddenly got the last sentence from the sad moment of life.
From this word, I feel a sense of destiny. "I don't know the guests in my dreams, but I want to have fun in the afternoon." Isn't it the same in our life? Death is the destination for everyone, and all the joys in life will be silent. We are both dreamers and sober spectators. This life is really too short. How long can we spend on it?
