Ugly Slave 1 Shubo Mountain Road middle wall
Song Xin abandons the disease 2
Teenager 3 does not know the taste of 4 sorrows,
Love 5 upstairs.
Fall in love with the upper floors,
For the endowment of 6 new words strong 7 say sorrow.
And now I know all 8 sorrows,
I want to say hugh 9.
Want to say hugh,
But 10 days of cool autumn.

The gist of the whole song is: when I was young, I didn't know the taste of sorrow and liked to go upstairs to play. In order to imitate the poetry of the predecessors, even if there is no sorrow, it is necessary to reluctantly say sorrow in the new work. Now I have fully experienced the taste of sorrow, I want to say it and can't say it, but I hesitate for a long time but can only sigh: What a cool autumn!
The language of this "Ugly Slave" is straightforward and simple, and it also describes the feelings that everyone has had, and it is very kind to read, so it is loved by the world. If the reader takes the word as an individual perception, it is not too much of a problem to taste the word from the level of "a person's age and experience are different, and the understanding of 'sorrow' is also different", after all, the literal meaning is indeed the same. But if the interpretation of the work is limited to this, it is a complete misinterpretation of the lyricist's intentions.
The lyricist pointed out that the work was "the middle wall of the Shubo Mountain Road", indicating that the creation of this song has a specific realistic background, rather than simply describing his own feelings. Boshan was in present-day Jiangxi, when Xin Washuyi was impeached and dismissed for his attitude towards the main battle, and he lived idly in Shangrao, and during the period of dismissal, he often climbed Mount Bo and wrote poems and lyrics.
But a leisurely life is not what the writer thinks. Since the Shuai rebel army surrendered to the Song court in the south, xin abandoned the disease day and night and what he wanted was to kill the enemy and repay the country and recover the Central Plains. However, although the Southern Song Court admired Xin's heroic behavior, it did not have much interest in the Northern Expedition. After that, Xin Zhiyi continued to hold local official positions, and the whole government did not trust him, and the lord and party suppressed him many times. It can be said that the Xin abandoned disease after Nantou was very unambitious. The long-term bitterness eventually prompted him to retire to forgiveness.
When Xin abandoned his illness to visit Boshan, he had already tasted a lot of sorrow after wandering in the official field for a long time. Huai Cai does not meet, and there is no way to serve the country. Great sorrow welled up in his heart, and the writer wanted to say it, but he couldn't say it. First, because he had been depressed for a long time, it was difficult to understand, and more importantly, he could not say. At that time, the lords and factions that controlled the government were extremely sensitive to dissent, and Xin Was deposed this time because his position of the main war was contrary to the wishes of the imperial court. Chanting sentences during the period of dismissal when the country is worried about the indignation is a big taboo. Therefore, even if Xin Abandoning Disease wants to express his inner sorrows, in the end, he can only bury his original intentions in his heart and use autumn to pin his worries on him.
From this point of view, the contrast between the boyhood and the present is not only revealing the changes in the thoughts and feelings of the writer, but also the sorrow of the present and today from the "young man does not know the taste of sorrow", leading to the thoughts of his own home and country, so as to express his dissatisfaction with the court's dissatisfaction with the Lord and the faction, and to pour out his pain in euphemistic words.
