In the 6th episode of "The Hunting Ground", Hu Ge and Roy Ren met again after being released from prison. They were no longer young, but they still loved each other deeply. Colleagues say that Roy is a kind of god like "Master Guiyun". Hu Ge asked, "Who is Master Guiyun?" His colleague replied, "Guiyun left without leaving a trace. He is the divine man mentioned by the ancients." After that, Hu Ge looked at the Roy people in the distance and memorized Liu Yong's Song lyrics in a very high-end manner.

?Youth Tour · Chang'an Ancient Road Ma Chi
? Northern Song Dynasty · Liu Yong
Chang'an Ancient Road Ma Chi Late, the tall willows are in chaos and the cicadas hiss. Outside Sunset Island, on the plains of autumn wind, my eyes are broken and drooping for four days. (Island's first work: Bird)
When the returning clouds leave without a trace, where is the early stage? The relationship is unfamiliar, the drunkard is lonely, and he is not like he was when he was young.
Translation
Riding a thin horse and walking slowly on the Chang'an Ancient Road, the tall willow trees and autumn cicadas chirped randomly. Under the setting sun, the autumn wind was blowing hard in the wilderness. I looked up and saw the sky hanging from all directions.
Once the returning clouds have gone without a trace, where are the expectations of the past? My interest in outings and banquets has faded, and I have very few drinking buddies in the past. I am no longer what I used to be when I was young.

Appreciation
When people talk about Liu Yong’s poetry, they tend to focus more on his expansion of long-tonal and slow poetry. In fact, his achievements in Xiaoling are also very commendable. Attention. In her article "On Liu Yong's Ci", Ye Jiaying once talked about the expansion of the artistic conception of Liu Yong's Ci, believing that "most of the poems described in Xiaoling in the Tang and Five Dynasties are just a kind of spring girl's kindness in the boudoir, garden and pavilion." "Feelings of nostalgia", and some of Liu's "excellent works of self-expression of feelings" write "a kind of sadness that 'Qiu Shi is susceptible to'". This feature has been clearly expressed in some of his long-tuned masterpieces, such as "Ba Sheng Ganzhou", "Qu Yu Guan" and "Snow Plum Fragrance". However, the expansion of Liu's Ci is not limited to his long and slow Ci. Even his short Ling Ci also has some noteworthy developments in terms of content and artistic conception. Just like this short poem "Youth Travel", Liu Yong wrote his "Qiu Shi's susceptibility" to the sadness of losing ambition into one of his masterpieces.
The reason why Liu Yong often has a kind of sadness of "losing ambition" is because on the one hand, he once had the ambition to be useful in the world due to the influence of his family background, and on the other hand, due to his natural endowment, And likes a romantic life. When he was defeated in his early years, he could still relax by "pouring lightly and singing quietly", but when he got older, he had lost his original interest in traveling, so he suffered from the failure of his ambition. After that, there was added a sense of sadness that the emotions had lost their place of sustenance. And what best conveys his dual sadness is this little poem "Youth Travel".
This short poem, like some of Liu Yong's slow poems, also writes about the scenery of autumn, but it is very different in terms of mood and sound.
So the following three sentences directly describe my loneliness and loneliness at that time, saying, "I am unfamiliar with life, drunk and lonely, not like I was when I was young." When he was frustrated in his early years, his fun-loving spirit of "fortunately finding the right person to look for" has now become desolate, and the "crazy friends" who sang and drank with him at that time have also withered away. Aspirations are unfulfilled and years pass by, leaving only the sadness and sigh of "not being like when I was young". The word "boyhood" in this sentence is used as "last year" in many books. Originally, the three words "last year's time" are not bad. When people get older, their mood and health decline, and they often feel that one year is not the same. Therefore, this sentence is like "last year's time". The sadness is also very deep. However, if we look at the sentences before this word, "When the clouds are gone, there is no trace, where is the previous period", it seems that what they are recalling is the past many years ago. With the words "not like when I was a teenager", it seems to be more intense and full of emotions about the present and the past.
The first part of Liu Yong's poem "Youth Travel" is all based on scenes. Starting from the beginning, the sadness is all in the words; the latter uses "returning to the cloud" as a metaphor to describe the failure of all expectations, and the last three sentences end with lamenting that one has failed to achieve anything. This is a good poem that can express the tragedy of Liu Yong's life and his high artistic attainments. In short, Liu Yong was a young man endowed with romantic nature and the ability to compose popular songs, and lived in the family environment of the gentry at that time. and social tradition, he is destined to be a tragic figure full of contradictions and not accepted, and his acquired sense of worldliness and his own innate romantic character and talents are also mutually exclusive. In his early years, although he could relieve his frustration by singing and drinking, singing and drinking was after all just a kind of anesthesia, not something that could be relied on for a long time. So when he got older, he In the end, his ambition and emotions were all in vain. Xiye Mengde recorded the story of Liu Yong's failure to write lyrics in his "History of Absence". He once commented on it with emotion: "Yong is also good at his diction, but he accidentally wrote it first." I got the name, but I regretted it because I was tired...but in the end I couldn't save it. Don’t be careless when choosing a technique. "Liu Yong's tragedy deserves the sympathy and reflection of future generations.
