The weight of history compresses lives into brief assessments. Those who once made their mark on history become little more than names and dates in the records.
Their laughter, their tears, their pain and confusion have all been buried beneath endless clouds of dust and smoke.
Li Yu, the last ruler of Southern Tang, was gifted with words and art, gentle and affectionate. His life was steeped in romance, yet filled with pain. He possessed an abundance of talent, and suffered an abundance of helplessness.
Helplessly, he watched the cold winds and rain, grieving alone;
Helplessly, he surrendered to Song with his upper body bared, becoming a captive of another country;
Helplessly, he ascended the throne and unwillingly did what he did not wish to do;
Helplessly, he watched his beloved wife die;
Helplessly, he became the crown prince regent;
even his birth became a source of helplessness.
As one of his poems says, "Ask how much sorrow one can bear: it is like the spring river flowing east."
The spring river flows east, carrying away a heart's undivided devotion;
the spring river flows east, carrying away an indescribable helplessness...

I really like my wife's writing. This article is very friendly to fans of the Zhou Dynasty. It stops at the time when everything is the best, and it seems that there is no need to worry about all the regrets in the future, whether it is for people or for the country. There is no need to exalt the Great Zhou Queen. It is normal for some people to dislike the Little Zhou Queen. The emperor can indeed have three wives and four concubines, and he can marry his wife's sisters, but having a seriously ill sister and having an affair with her brother-in-law without a matchmaker is considered morally bad and despised in any era. You can't ignore her hateful aspects just because she is pitiful, right? If she wants to wear the crown, she must bear its weight. If she had no ambition and did not become the queen of her brother-in-law, she could have lived a plain and stable life in a hundred ways with her status, instead of becoming a subjugated queen who could not maintain her dignity.
Beautiful, the prince is so pitiful
You can't watch it after downloading it. Save it first. It should be good.
A touch of melancholy It seems everything is a foregone conclusion The protagonists can only follow the established path step by step. . .
I like this feeling, delicate and fresh. Let me meet a brand new queen. In the past, I had a quarrel with netizens because of the issue of the queen. I said that the late master was a good man and a good lyricist; but he said that the late master had lost his country and was nothing. Now I feel relieved, the moment Hongji became the prince. In fact, I deeply sympathize with him and his persistent love for Qiang'er and Tang Guo. The moment I closed the phone, I suddenly thought, the story of the big Zhou Hou is so perfect, what about the little Zhou Hou? Silly, it turns out that few men are very infatuated. A night of old dreams from the Southern Tang Dynasty.
I got into a big pit of Ayako Hanakage and just climbed out
Not bad, why is it over? I have no more books to read, haha
Ayako, dear, you are also in Jinjiang~!
Ayako, dear, you are also in Jinjiang~! Long time no see I like your writing, but I don't really like Tianya, so I go less often. I didn't go there afterwards either. I don't know if you still remember me I used to read your articles on Tianya, which was my earliest exposure to online literature. Ah, I am called "Shuibingxueshuang" in the end of the world.
Good article, but it ends too suddenly TOT
