original text

Red lotus root is fragrant, and jade is lingering in autumn. Who sent the brocade book? The word goose returns, and the moon is full of the west building.

Flowers from Shui Piao to water, one kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure. There is no way to eliminate this situation, only frown and mind.

Lotus has been disabled, the fragrance has disappeared, the bamboo mat is as cold as jade, showing a strong autumn feeling, gently carrying a silk skirt, and boarding the leafy Lanzhou alone. Looking up at the distant sky, where white clouds are rolling, who will send the brocade book? It was the time when the herringbone geese returned to the south, and the moonlight was bright and filled the pavilion building in the west.

Flowers are free, water is free. A kind of parting acacia, you and me, affects two leisure worries. Ah, what I can't get over is that this lovesickness, this sadness, has just disappeared from the frowning brow and is vaguely entangled in my heart.

Through the unique feelings and experiences of female poets, this word reveals the sentimental psychology of women in China in a different way, which has both exquisite aesthetic experience and exquisite aesthetic communication, and can be called a masterpiece of exquisite love.

The poetess began to understate, first outlining the seasonal characteristics, and then slightly introducing the image of the lyric hero. The sentence "Put Luo Shang down gently and sail alone on the blue boat" is about boating on the water during the day. "Light", say it quietly; "Independence" means that you are alone. Here, people can think about the reasons and purposes of these behaviors of lyric heroes.

In his early years, he lived comfortably and devoted himself to the collection and arrangement of calligraphy and painting stones with her husband Zhao Mingcheng. The nomads from the army entered the Central Plains and lived in the south. Ming Cheng died of illness and was in a lonely situation. In his lyrics, he wrote about his leisure life in the early stage, lamented his life experience in the later stage, and felt sentimental, which also revealed his nostalgia for the Central Plains. In form, it makes good use of line drawing, forms its own school and has beautiful language.
