Twenty-three years: Liu Yuxi was demoted to Lianzhou secretariat from Yongzhenyuan year (805) in Tang Shunzong, and was called in the winter of Baoli year (826), about twenty-two years.

Reward Lotte Yangzhou Translation

I spent twenty-three years in the desolate places of Bashan and Chushui.

Missing an old friend, reciting Xiao Fu in vain, and returning home for a long time is not the past.

There are thousands of ships passing by the sunken ship, but there is also a struggle for spring in front of the sick tree.

After listening to the poem you recited to me today, I will cheer up with this glass of wine for the time being.

Creation background

Liu Yuxi, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, liked to play Weiqi since he was a child. Chess player Wang is very good at teaching the prince to play chess. When the prince became emperor, his teacher Wang formed a cabinet and promoted his chess friend Liu Yuxi as the suggestion.

Later, after the failure of Wang Group's political reform, Liu Yuxi was exiled to other places as an official, and returned to Beijing in twenty-three years (actually twenty-two years). Passing through Yangzhou, I met Bai Juyi who was also demoted. Neither of us is happy-to grow old and appreciate each other.

Appreciation of Yangzhou's Lotte Appreciation

"Yangzhou's first banquet to enjoy Lotte" is an open-minded expression of the changes of the world and the ups and downs of officials. It shows the poet's firm belief and optimistic spirit, and at the same time implies philosophy, which indicates that new things will definitely replace old things. [ 1]

Liu Yuxi's appreciation of poems, inherited from Bai Juyi's, focuses on expressing his feelings in this particular environment. In Bai's poems, Bai Juyi expressed infinite feelings about Liu Yuxi's experience, and the last two sentences said, "I also know the name of the quilt. Twenty-three years is too much." On the one hand, he lamented the unfortunate fate of Liu Yuxi being impersonated, on the other hand, he praised Liu Yuxi's talent and fame. These two poems contain praise in sympathy, which is very euphemistic. Because Bai Juyi talked about twenty-three years at the end of the poem, Liu Yuxi went on to say at the beginning of the poem: "Bashan Chujiang River is desolate, and I gave up on myself in these twenty-three years." I have lived in the desolate area of Bashan Chushui for twenty-three years. Come and go, showing the intimate relationship between friends.

Then, the poet naturally felt: "Homesickness is empty, and I feel like a rotten ke when I go to my hometown." He said that he had been away for twenty-three years, and now he was back. Many old friends had died, so he could only recite Wendy Fu in vain to express his condolences. Coming back is like a previous life, and it feels completely different. It's not the past anymore. The latter sentence uses the allusion of Wang Fu-fu, which not only implies his long years of relegation, but also shows the change of the world after reunification and his unfamiliar and melancholy state of mind, with rich implications.
