Behind every poem is a story, and behind every story is a weather-beaten but extremely romantic poet. Reading poetry is also reading yourself. Reciting poetry is also traveling, with no end point, just enjoying the scenery you encounter. Five thousand years of prosperity and loneliness are all staged in the poem. If you want to leave a peaceful harbor in your heart, you might as well wander around in this poem with your heart. When we get together here, we don't want to leave. Waiting for you, in the poem, see you or not.

In Song poetry, most of the stories that are understated are cool and beautiful. A chance meeting, a grand love, a heart-breaking separation, a bone-crushing lovesickness, every moment is forever. Song Ci is more like a flower that has been given magic power. It is light and tender in spring, hot and charming in summer, azure in Xiao Su's hollow in autumn, and white with frost and cold in winter. Every side is Beauty, even if one day it withers and dies, the wings of the soul will still carry an unknown depth of affection, crossing thousands of rivers and mountains, walking through the length of time and the thickness of space, and reaching the soft, water-like heart of the world.

Li Bai became orchids when he breathed, and poems when he drank. His free and uninhibited charm made time marvel. Du Fu was a scholar, with hair as white as snow, but he used a pen to carry out the turning point of the Anshi Rebellion, which shocked the years. Tao Yuanming did not love the court but the countryside, and the five willows were his livelihood, which made even the treacherous ministers ashamed. Wang Wei looked down on worldly affairs and only wished to make a cup of tea and live in peace for the rest of his life in the scent of tea, leaving the world of mortals helpless. Gao Shi and Cen Shen only wrote about the desolation and vastness of the desert. Even if they were thousands of miles away from home, they still wanted to see the solitary smoke and the setting sun, adding fragrance and color to the frontier fortress. Later generations can't help but ask why a short poem, whether it's a quatrain or a rhyme, just a few words, can contain the whole world. Perhaps, this is the indescribable charm of Tang poetry.

Interpreting Li Shangyin is such a tedious task. It's like entering a beautiful maze by mistake, trying to figure out every subtle clue, but in the end you are at a loss; you want to go back the same way, but you can't find the path to the exit. After wandering around in it, I was just dyed with the fragrance of flowers and had a beautiful dream. Yang Xiaoying's "Reading Chinese Poetry·Last Night's Stars and Last Night's Wind: Li Shangyin's Poetry and Love" thinks that if you look through all his yellowed poems, you will always find sporadic revelations, so as to make a frivolous footnote for him. Unexpectedly, those exquisitely crafted, gorgeously worded, and affectionate poems are more like riddles dotted in every corner of the mystery, tempting people to come closer again and again without finding any clues about the answer.

If you think of "Huajian Ji" as an olive, hold it carefully in your mouth, what lingers between your lips and teeth is the clearness and mellowness; if you think of "Huajian Ji" as a few pieces of tea, after soaking and steaming in clear water, gently comprehending it, and chanting it deeply, what will float in the tea cup is a strong but not greasy fragrance. Perhaps those lingering and affectionate words in Huajian's poems are exactly the memories of your past life. Read a Huajian poem, have a beautiful dream, and reunite with yourself from three lives and three lives ago. I'm afraid there is no such beautiful thing in the world.
