The "November 4th" Storm of Lu You in Song Dynasty
Second, the original text
I lay sprawled in my lonely country, not feeling sad about my situation, but thinking about defending the frontier of the country.
The night will be over, I lie in bed listening to the sound of wind and rain, in a daze in my dream, riding an armored horse across the frozen river to the northern battlefield.

Extended data
First, the creative background
Lu You retired in the 16th year of Xiaozong Xichun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 189) and lived in seclusion in his hometown of Yin Shan. This poem was written in Song Guangzong on November 4th, 2003 (1 192). At that time, the poet was 68 years old. Although I am old, my patriotism is undiminished, and I miss serving my motherland day and night.
The poet's strong desire to recover the motherland has been impossible to realize in reality. So, on a stormy night, he touched the scene and moved with emotion, realizing his desire to gallop in the Central Plains in his dream.
Second, anecdotes and allusions of Lu You
Shen Yuan's poem Mystery
Lu You first married his cousin Tang Wan, and the husband and wife loved each other. Because Tang Wan was infertile and rejected by Lu Mu, Lu You was forced to separate from Tang Wan. Lu You married Wang according to her mother's wishes, and Tang Wan remarried to the same county under the pressure of her father.
Ten years later, Lu You had a spring outing and met Mr. and Mrs. Tang Wan in Shenyuan.
Sad, inscribed on the wall of the garden is the famous word "Chai Feng": "Red crisp hands, yellow wine, and the wall of the spring palace is full of willows. Dong Feng Xie, who is in a bad mood, has been very depressed in recent years. No, no, no! Spring is the same, people are empty, and tears are red and sad. Peach blossom falls, idle pool pavilion, although the mountain alliance is there, it is difficult to hold books. Mo, Mo, Mo! " .
It means holding a cup full of yellow wine with rosy and crisp hands. Spring is rippling all over the city, but you are as far away as a palace wall. How hateful the spring breeze is and how thin the joy is blown. A full glass of wine is like a sad mood, and life after leaving for a few years is very bleak.
No, no, no. The spring is still bright, but people have lost weight in vain. Wash away the carmine on your face and soak all the thin silk handkerchiefs. Peach blossoms in Man Chun fall on silent and empty ponds and castles. The vows of eternal love are still there, but the brocade letter can no longer be delivered. Momomo.
Tang Wan was very sad after reading it, and also wrote a poem "Hairpin Phoenix" according to law: "The world is thin and human feelings are evil, and it is easy to send flowers at dusk. The breeze is dry, the tears are residual, I want to care, and I am alone in the rain. Difficult, difficult, difficult! People become different, today is not yesterday, and sick souls are often thousands of miles away. The bugle sounded cold, and the night was dim, so people were afraid to ask, and tears made up for it. Hey hey! " .
It means that the world is cold, the human feelings are sinister, the rain is continuous in the evening, and the peach blossoms are fragments. The morning breeze blew dry, and the tears of last night, when I want to write down my thoughts, I can only lean on the diagonal and call you in the distance from my heart; Talking to yourself in a low voice, I hope you can hear me.
Difficult, difficult, difficult, we are so close at hand, this time is different, I am seriously ill, just like Qiu Qiansuo. Listening to the horn in the distance, I felt a chill in my heart, and the night was already deep. ? Afraid of being asked, I held back my tears and forced a smile in front of others. Hide, hide, hide,
Shortly after the encounter, Tang Wan died of depression. Lu You was deeply saddened by this, and later wrote poems and chanted Shen Yuan many times, making Shen Yuan famous throughout the ages.
