Li Yu, the monarch born in the deep palace and raised by the hands of women, although he is at the core of power and should theoretically be familiar with the way of power and strategy, due to the uniqueness of his living environment, he has not been influenced by the chaos of the world.
It is precisely because he spent his youth in the court and has never gone deep into the world that the emotions in Li Yu's lyrics are pure and gorgeous, and they are not contaminated with earthly fireworks.
Born in the royal palace and enjoying the glory of wealth and glory, Li Yu's life has never experienced hardships and sorrows, and all his needs can be satisfied, which seems to be his limitation as a monarch, but it has become his unique advantage as an outstanding poet.
Like Jia Baoyu, his inner world remains rare and pure, keenly perceiving himself and everything around him, and can express his inner joys and pure emotions in words and sentences without reservation.
However, the turning point of fate - after the death of the country, the identity of the prisoner made Li Yu's emotional world surging like a river, and this transformation showed a natural state.
His rhetoric during his reign depicts the luxury of court life, while his works after his loss of the country reveal his true spiritual world, recording the ups and downs of a generation of emperors.
For example, in the lyrics he wrote after the collapse of the country, Li Yu expressed his lamentation for the fleeting good times of the old days with the words "Now Zhu Yan has changed, the time has changed, and the past is unbearable to look back".
The once familiar carved fence jade masonry is still there, but the personnel are completely different, this contrast is undoubtedly a profound emotion of the impermanence of the world and the transience of life.
What is particularly shocking is the famous saying: "Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river flowing eastward." Li Yu uses the surging river as a metaphor for the immeasurable pain of life, not only does not stick to specific circumstances, but also vividly expresses the sorrow of life that is reluctant to flow day and night, and is helpless in the face of changes.
This deep feeling, like words dipped in blood and tears, carries the helplessness and sorrow of life shared by all beings in the world.
Looking at the image of "withering flowers", it is a metaphor for the shortness and impermanence of life, the former imperial honor is now only left with the lonely identity of a foreign prisoner, and the sadness and misery during it are the microcosm of individual life mapped by the laws of nature.
From this and that, from personal encounters to the universal truth of the birth and death of all things in the world, the philosophical depth and artistic appeal contained in Li Yu's words can be seen.
