Original text:
You don't have to shoot when dancing, plum blossoms are inserted in black towels.
Don't laugh at each other in the previous play. I think you are fascinated by it.
Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: I am crazy when I dance, and I don't stick plum blossoms in my headscarf at will with the beat. Don't laugh at all the performances in front of the glass. After I die, you will miss the madness when I was alive.

In the winter of the 24th year of Shaoxing (1 154), Lu You wrote five poems of "Poems of Looking at Mei" in Yin Shan. Since then, Lu You has been writing Yongmei's poems for almost half a year. Plum blossoms have accompanied him through a long life. Lu You's "Don't Be Yongmei" is a well-known masterpiece, and there are two Yongmei Ci poems in the Selected Poems of Weinan.
There are about 65,438+050 poems in Jiannan's poems with the theme of "Visiting Mei", "Watching Mei" and "Biemei". Of course, this is only a rough statistic, and there are countless references to plum blossoms in other poems. Lu You is one of the eight ancient chrysanthemum-loving poets in China, nicknamed "Haitang Hall". Hundreds of flowers are mentioned in his poems.
It is recorded in Zhou Bida's Poems on Erlaotang: In political affairs, Luling was the satrap of Cheng Hao, with a history of learning, especially poetry, and spent six years in the county. The county people are full of respect and modesty, and they are extremely knowledgeable, and they are self-proclaimed. The county recommended it with eight lines of resignation. Singing the poem "Plum Blossom" with Cheng has turned over thousands of songs in the morning, and everyone who knows it has already sighed.
