"Cutting and cutting, still messy, is the separation of sorrow. The meaning is that the cut is not cut, not clear, let a person's heart confused, it is the pain of losing the country. The long sadness entangled in the heart, but is another kind of unnamable pain.
2. Original text
Happy meeting
Li Yu
Without words, I went up to the west tower alone, and the moon was like a hook. The moon is like a hook. The lonely sycamore tree is locked in the deep courtyard in the early fall.
Cutting and cutting, but also messy, is the separation of sorrow. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do it.
3. Translation
Silent and speechless, alone, slowly climbed the empty west building.
Looking up at the sky, I was accompanied only by a cold moon like a hook.
Looking down, I saw the sycamore tree isolated in the courtyard, and the deep courtyard was shrouded in the cold and bleak autumn colors.
The cut is not cut, not clear, let a person's heart confused, it is the pain of the dead country.
The long sadness wrapped around the heart, but is another kind of unnamable pain.
4. Brief Analysis
"Happiness of Meeting Each Other - Going Up to the West Tower Alone Without Words" is a famous piece by Li Yu, the later lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty (doubtful), with the name of Happiness of Meeting Each Other as its title, but it is about the sorrow of parting. It was written when the author was imprisoned in the Song Dynasty. The dazzling sadness in the lyrics is just an episode after the end of his palace life. Since he had already surrendered to the Song Dynasty at that time, what is expressed here is the heartbreaking pathos of his departure from his hometown to his country. This word is true feelings, deep and natural, breaking through the flower words to beautiful and slippery tone dedicated to writing "women's language" style, is the beginning of the early Song Euphemism of the word of the pioneering work.
