Reader comments
"When are the spring flowers and autumn moon, how much do you know about the past?" Li Yu was born on Chinese Valentine's Day and died on Chinese Valentine's Day. Life is just like a circle. "A pot of wine, a pole, and a few people as happy as a farmer" was his ideal when he was young. Through various accidents, he was forced to become a king and lived a useless life. "On the day when he left the temple in a hurry, the temple was still playing a farewell song." From then on, every word was filled with blood and tears. The emperor is dead, but the poet lives forever. "Life is long and I hate the water." "Cars are like flowing water, horses are like dragons, flowers and moon are in the spring breeze!" Cao Xueqin agreed that he was "the saddest person in ancient times".
Since ancient times, there have been many talented people, including Li Shu, and many peerless kings.
This book reminds me of the time when I enjoyed Li Yu's poetry with my lover. Li Yu's lyrics are sincere and emotional, especially the sentence "When will the spring flowers and autumn moon come", which made me feel the same. The paintings included in the book are also beautiful and complement the words. Reading this book, it seems like I can see Li Yu's life, and it also makes me cherish my current life even more. Recommended to friends who like poetry.
No wonder it is so beautiful both ancient and modern times
When the water falls and the flowers fall, the spring is gone, heaven and earth!
