Liu Yong, Yu Linglin's full text and annotations

Answer 1

Liu Yong, also known as Uncle Yong, was one of the representative figures of the graceful and restrained school of Northern Song poets. His Ci is famous for its graceful, gentle, deep feelings and implicit meaningfulness. His representative works include "Yu Linling·Cold Cicada Distraught" and "Looking at the Sea Tide·Southeast Victory".

The full text of 'Yu Linling: Cold Cicada's Misery' was as follows:

Cold cicadas mournfully look at the long pavilion. The evening rain has just stopped. I drink in the tent of the capital gate without a thread, where the orchid boat is urged. Holding hands and looking at each other with tearful eyes, I was speechless and choked. Thinking of the thousand miles away, the misty waves in the evening mist are deep and the sky is wide.

Since ancient times, love has hurt the feelings of separation, so how can it be left out in the cold during the autumn festival? Where will I sober tonight? by the willows 'banks the morning breeze and waning moon. This year's departure should be a good time and good scenery in vain. Even if there are a thousand kinds of amorous feelings, who else can I tell?

Note:

The first part of this poem is about the feeling of parting, and the second part is about the sorrow of parting. The first line," The cicadas in the cold are mournful towards the pavilion, and the rain has just stopped." The mournful wails of the cicadas and the scene of dusk were used to set off the desolate atmosphere of parting. Then he wrote about the reluctance when he left. At last, the poet and his friend looked at each other with tears in their eyes, unable to speak. The last sentence," I'll miss you for a thousand miles, the misty waves and the heavy evening mist in the sky," expressed the loneliness and longing after parting. The whole poem was full of deep emotions and beautiful artistic conception. It combined the description of scenery and lyric techniques to express the poet's feelings and reluctance to part.
