Poppies
A sneak peek at the famous story through the ages
Poppies
Li Yu (Five Generations)
When is the spring flower and autumn moon? How much do you know about the past? Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight.
The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. How sad can you be? It is like a river flowing eastward.
Background of creation
In 975 AD, the Southern Tang Dynasty perished. Three years after Li Yu surrendered, that is, in 978 AD, Xu Xuan was ordered by Song Taizong to visit Li Yu, and Li Yu sighed to Xu Xuan: "I killed Pan You and Li Ping by mistake, and I regret it!" It was probably in this state of mind that Li Yu wrote the lyrics of "Poppy Beauty".
Soon, on Li Yu's forty-second birthday, Song Taizong sent someone to reward Li Yu with a cup of poisoned wine and poisoned him to death. Therefore, this poem is also considered to be Li Yu's fateful word.
