Source: Xin Qiji's "He Xinlang is very weak" in the Song Dynasty.
Whole poem:
In the garden pavilion in the city, all the servants were given this word. Sitting alone all day, stopping the clouds, the sound of water and mountains, competing for entertainment. It seems that the people who want to help solve the case in "A Western Mountain" say a few words, which is a deep yearning for relatives and friends.
I'm dying. I have had friends all my life, and I have had scattered friends, only a few left! White hair hanging down three thousands of feet, laughing at all things in the world. What can make the public happy? I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this. Emotions and looks are slightly similar.
A statue scratched its head in the east window. When I think of Yuan and Ming's poem Stop Clouds, it is the flavor at this time. Those who seek fame on the left side of the river don't know the secret of mud mash. Looking back, the clouds are flying. I don't hate the ancients, I don't see them, I hate them for not seeing my crazy ears. People who know me, two or three sons.
Translation:
I am very old. The friends I have walked with in my life are scattered in all directions. How many are left now? It's really depressing For so many years, I just grew old in vain, my fame was unfinished, and I gradually became indifferent to everything in the world. What else can really make me happy? I think Qingshan is so handsome, and I think I look the same. Both feelings and looks are very similar.
Drink a glass of wine, recite poems in front of the window, and feel comfortable. I think that's what Tao Yuanming thought when he wrote Stop Clouds. How can those people in Jiangnan who are obsessed with fame and fortune realize the true meaning of drinking? Drink the wine, turn around and sing, Yun Qi, the wind suddenly. I don't feel sorry for not seeing the ancients (Tao Yuanming)! I regret that an ancient man like him never saw my arrogance. Those friends who know me.

Xin Qiji's ci, which loves to use allusions, is unique in Song Ci. The first movie of this word begins with "I am weak". I have made friends all my life, and there are only a few left! "Is quoted the allusions in the Analects of Confucius. Confucius said in The Analects: "I am too weak to dream of Duke Zhou. "If Confucius laments that it is not good; If Xin Qiji quotes, he will lament that political ideals cannot be realized. Xin Qiji was fifty-nine years old when he wrote this word, and he had been in exile for many years, so it is natural to sigh like this. Here "there are only a few left" is connected with the conclusion of "people who know me, two or three sons" to emphasize the word "scattered"
"I see how charming Castle Peak is, and I expect Castle Peak to see me like this" is all the warning. Because there is nothing pleasing to the eyes of the poet, he has to pour his deep feelings into nature, not only finding Castle Peak "charming", but also feeling that Castle Peak seems to regard the poet as "charming". Here, the author compares his feelings with those of Castle Peak, and euphemistically expresses his great ambition that he would rather be lonely than go along with the traitors.
The author used allusions in the next paragraph of the word. "A statue is scratching its head in the east window, thinking about the poem" Stop the Cloud ",which is a flavor at this time." Tao Yuanming's Stop the Cloud contains poems such as "Good friends wander and scratch their heads" and "Drinking at the east window". Xin Qiji condensed it in one sentence to imagine the charm of Tao Yuanming's poems. Here the author also mentioned Tao Yuanming, aiming at Tao's own situation. "Jiang Zuoshen seeks fame, do you know the mystery of muddy mash?" Two sentences, on the surface, seem to be reprimanding those celebrities in the Southern Dynasties who are "the meaning of drunkenness is not wine" (Su Shi's Twenty Drinks with Tao, the third); In fact, ironically, there were no Tao Yuanming-style drinking aristocrats in the Southern Song Dynasty, but only some rulers who lived a drunken life.
The following two sentences, "I don't hate the ancients for not seeing me, but I hate the ancients for not seeing my crazy ears", are similar in syntax to the last movie "I See Castle Peak", which shows the author's contempt for ancient and modern heroism. The "ancients" mentioned here are not ordinary ancients, but people like Tao Yuanming. According to Volume III of Historical Records of York, "Whenever Xin Qiji entertained guests, she would be ordered to sing what she had done. The word "He Xinlang" is a very good song, reciting its epigram:' I see how charming Qingshan is, but I expect Qingshan to see me like this.' He also said,' I don't hate the ancients, only that they didn't see my crazy ears. At this point, I laugh at myself, and the consultant is a guest. "It serves to show that Xin Qiji is very conceited about this couplet.
Summarize a sentence: "Those who know me, two or three sons." No one has made a special textual research on "Ersanzi". Some people think it was Chen Liang. But readers might as well broaden their horizons and include the ancients Tao Yuanming, Qu Yuan and even Confucius. Xin Qiji lamented that there were not many like-minded friends at that time, similar to Qu Yuan's lament that "everyone was drunk, I woke up alone" and worried about the country and the people. His seclusion in Lead Mountain is somewhat similar to Tao Yuanming's seclusion in Nanshan.
