Year after year, the fragrance of flowers seems to be the same, year after year, people are different, not straight where people's faces go, peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze. Whose poem is this?
The White-Headed Weng Era: Tang Dynasty Author: Liu Xiyi Genre: Lefu The peach and plum blossoms in the east of the city of Luoyang are flying to and fro, to whom do they fall? The daughters of Luoyang cherish their colors, and sit and sigh when they see the fallen flowers. The color of this year's blossom has changed, who will be there next year's blossom? I've seen the pines and cypresses being destroyed, and I've heard that the mulberry fields are turning into the sea. The ancient people are no longer in the east of Luocheng, and the present people are still facing the wind of falling flowers. The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. I wish to say that my son is in full bloom, but I pity the white-headed man who is dying. This man's gray head is really pitiful, but I used to be a beautiful young man with a red face. Under the fragrant trees of princes and grandchildren, singing and dancing in front of the falling flowers. The Glorious and Profitable Pond is full of embroidery, and the General's Pavilion is full of paintings of fairies. I have not known her since she was sick, but who is there for her to enjoy in the spring? How long can I turn my eyebrows around, and how soon will my hair become like silk? But when I look at the ancient land of songs and dances, I see only the sadness of birds and birds at dusk!
Another allusion, sadly! Once, Liu Xiyi wrote a poem entitled "generation sad white-headed man", Song Zhiwen saw this nephew's poem has not yet been made public, praise, especially favorite poem "year after year flowers are similar, year after year people are different," the two lines. Song Zhiwen asked his nephew to let him have the poem, and Liu Xiyi initially agreed, but soon backed out because it was too difficult for him to part with it. Song Zhiwen was so enraged that he ordered his slave to crush his nephew to death with an earth bag in order to keep the poem for himself. The poor Liu Xiyi, who was a talented poet, was not even 30 years old at the time of his death. So there is a strange phenomenon in "All Tang Poetry": under Liu Xiyi's name, this poem is included, entitled "Generation of Sadness for the White-Headed Weng"; under Song Zhiwen's name, this poem is also included, but only changed the title, changed the word "Luoyang" to "Luoyang" in the phrase "Luoyang Daughter Pitying Colors". "The rest of the poem is exactly the same.
