When is the Spring Flower autumn moon? How much do you know about the past. Xiao Lou had another east wind last night, and the homeland could not look back at the middle of the moon. The carved fence jade should still be there, but Zhu Yan changed. Ask jun can have a few sorrows, just like a river of spring water flowing east.
——Southern Tang Li Yu
How did the good times of spring flowers and autumn moons and songs and dances end? The past is still fresh in my mind. Last night, the east wind blew on the small building again, recalling that his home country had changed hands, the rivers and mountains had changed color, and the exquisitely carved and jade-made lou xie song platform should still be there, but it must not be the way it used to be. Ask me how much sorrow I have in my heart, like the water of the spring river that flows eastward, endlessly.
Li Yu was the third monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period, and was known as the Later Lord. (The first was his ancestor Li Sheng, the second was his father Li Jing). When he took over the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was already the end of the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied to establish the Great Song Dynasty and gradually unified the north. The relatively wealthy Southern Tang Became a Fragrant Feast in the Eyes of Zhao Song. In 975, Song soldiers besieged Jinling (present-day Nanjing). Li Yu chose to surrender in order to save the people from the flames of war.
The Southern Tang Dynasty was broken, Li Yu was floated, and his life as a prisoner in Fenjing (present-day Kaifeng) was naturally miserable. When he saw the bright moon hanging high, the already sentimental queen lord was even more worried about his homeland. So he wrote this song "Yu Meiren Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon When", and on the night of July 7, Hee Ji sang music. When Song Taizong heard about it, he thought that he was still dreaming of restoring the country, so he was furious and ordered someone to give him a cup of poisonous wine, and Li Yu's life came to an end.
Li Yu was a legendary emperor who was born on the seventh day of the first month of July and died on the seventh day of the first month of July, and had an indissoluble relationship with Qixi. In the years when he was the master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, all day long, the wind and snow, the paper was drunk and the gold fans, and there were not many good works circulating. On the contrary, after being floated, in a short period of three years, nearly thirty very valuable works were left behind. In addition to this song "Yu Meiren, When is the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon", there are also "Breaking the Family Country for Forty Years", "Seeing Each Other and Celebrating Lin Hua Thanking Chun Hong", "The Past Is Only Sad" and so on. He was not a successful lord of the country, but he was the king of the poetry kingdom, and he was called the "Emperor of Ancient Words" by later generations.
Li Yu only had a short life course of forty-two years. He left behind immortal masterpieces, but also left many regrets. But no one's life is perfect, so let it go, and let those moving stories and beautiful poems remain in history forever.
