Yangzhou Lotte first met? Liu Yuxi [Tang Dynasty]
The mountains were desolate and silent for twenty-three years.
People come back. Like people in Michelle, I can only play the flute, and I am disappointed.
On one side of the boat, Qian Fan races; At the head of the sick tree, every year is a spring shower.
Today, listen to you sing a song, drink a glass of wine and cheer up.

He was relegated to these desolate places of Bashan and Chushui, and spent 23 years in poverty.
The old days of remembering old friends and reciting Xiao Fu in vain no longer exist.
There are still thousands of sailboats from Qian Qian passing by the capsized ships; There are thousands of trees thriving in front of the dead trees.
After listening to the poem you recited to me today, I will cheer up with this glass of wine for the time being.

author
Liu Yuxi (772 ~842) was born in Luoyang, Henan, and Xingyang, Zhengzhou, Henan. He claimed to be a descendant of Wang Jing in Hanzhong. Ministers, writers and philosophers in the Tang Dynasty were called "poets". His family is a scholarly family handed down from generation to generation by Confucianism. Advocating political innovation is one of the core figures of the Wang school's political innovation activities. Later, Yongzhen failed in innovation and was demoted to Sima Langzhou (now Changde, Hunan). According to the textual research of Mr. Zhou, a historian and collector in Changde, Hunan Province, Liu Yuxi was demoted to Sima Langzhou, during which he wrote the famous "Han Shou Chun Wang".
