Creation background

In 826 AD (the second year of Tang Jingzong Baoli), Liu Yuxi returned to Luoyang from Hezhou (now Nanjing County, Anhui Province) and passed through Jinling (now Nanjing County, Jiangsu Province), writing this group of poems to commemorate places of interest, which is one of them.

Wuyi Xiang is a famous poem written by Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, which is obscure but obscure. It is one of the five wonders of Jinling. The poet had never been to Jinling at that time, and had always been longing for this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It happened that a friend showed him five poems describing Jinling's historic sites, and he took the opportunity to write five poems.

Wuyi Lane used to be the most prosperous place where nobles lived in the Six Dynasties. Now the famous Suzaku Bridge is overgrown with weeds, and there are no cars and horses in and out of Wuyi Lane. Only the setting sun slanted on the deep wall of the past.

The poet's deep affection for the rise and fall of this poem. Suzaku Bridge and Wuyi Lane are still the same, just overgrown with weeds and the setting sun is slanting. The desolate scene implies the poet's sensitive experience of prosperity and decline.
