Said by: Complaining about love, when Wan Li finds a date.
Original: When Wanli sought to seal Hou, Ma kept Liangzhou. Where is the dream of closing the river, the dust darkens the old mink and fur. The Hu people are still alive, the temples are frosty in autumn, and the affectionate tears are dry. Who could have predicted in this life that the original intention was to leave the enemy in Tianshan Mountain, but now he is destined to die of old age in Cangzhou!
Interpretation: Recall that Pengcheng Wanli went to the border to defend Liangzhou in order to find opportunities to make contributions. Nowadays, the military life of guarding the frontier fortress can only appear in dreams, and I don't know where I am when I wake up. Dust covered the mink of the old expedition.
Hu ren has not disappeared, his temples have been frosted in autumn, and his affectionate tears have flowed in vain. Who would have predicted in my life that I wanted to fight the enemy wholeheartedly in Tianshan Mountain, but now I am dying of old age in Cangzhou!
Tianshan Mountain: In the northwest of China, it was a frontier during the Han and Tang Dynasties. This refers to the northwest front of the stalemate between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin State.
Cangzhou: a place near the water, which was often used to refer to the place where hermits lived in ancient times. This refers to the author's hometown, the shore of Jinghu Lake.

Writing background:
1 172 (eight years of Song Xiaozong trunk road), Lu You served in Nanzheng Army, an important town in the northwest frontier, and spent more than eight months in military life. After being impeached and dismissed from office in 1 189 (the 16th year of Xichun), Lu You retired from his former residence in Yin Shan for 12 years. During this period, I often look back on the past, sleepwalking in Liangzhou on a snowy night, and writing a series of patriotic poems under the lonely lamp. This song "Confession" is one of them.
The Southern Song Dynasty, which is poor, weak and increasingly embarrassed, is an era in which heroes are needed, but it is also an era of "excess" of heroes. Lu You took fighting against Jin Xingguo as his duty all his life, but he had no choice but to ask for help, and was repeatedly relegated. In his later years, he retired to Yin Shan, and his ambition was hard to realize.
"Strong men are lonely and idle, and famous flowers are scattered in the rain." The autumn of history, the storm of the times, the true nature of heroes and the difficulties of reality have all contributed to this tragic and melancholy "Complaining for Love".
When writing this poem, Lu You was nearly 70 years old, and he was in his hometown, not forgetting the worries of his home country. The martyr was full of ambition in his later years. This high political enthusiasm and never-failing patriotic spirit have formed the lofty beauty of his ci style.
However, ambition can't be realized and no one understands it. Although "people are as dead as iron" and have no choice but to "serve the country and die without a battlefield", this deep sense of oppression has formed a tragic mood in his poems. The lyrics are loyal and angry, full of sadness.
