Extended information:

Lu You (November 13, 1125 - 1210), a poet and lyricist of the Southern Song Dynasty. Ziwuguan, nicknamed Fangweng, was from Shanyin, Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). Later generations regard Lu You as the top poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu You is the poet who has written the most poems.

Lu You was born in a family of officials who "lived in poverty and studied hard" to become an official. It was an era when corruption in the Song Dynasty was low and it was repeatedly invaded by the Jin Kingdom and the Jurchen tribe. The year after his birth, Jin Bing captured Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. He fled with his family when he was still in his infancy. Affected by the social and family environment, he determined to kill Hu (Jin Bing) and save the country from an early age.

Although the feudal family gave Lu You good cultural influence, especially patriotic education, it also brought misfortune to his marriage. When he was 20 years old, he married his cousin Tang Wan. The couple had a close relationship, but his mother did not like Tang and forced them to separate. Tang remarried Zhao Shicheng, and Lu You also married Wang.

Lu You was very sad after the divorce. When he was traveling through Shen Garden in the 25th year of Shaoxing at the age of 31, he met Tang Wan and his wife. Lu You wrote the poem "Chai Tou Feng" on the wall of Shen Garden to express his deep feelings. After that, he wrote poems in memory many times. Until he was 75 years old, he also wrote the famous love poem "Shen Yuan". Tang was so sad after reading Lu You's "The Hairpin-Headed Phoenix" that he composed a poem "The Hairpin-Headed Phoenix" and died soon after.

Lu You was "able to write poems and essays at the age of twelve", learned swordsmanship, and studied military literature. At the age of 29, he went to Lin'an Provincial Examination and ranked first. The following year, he participated in the examination of the Ministry of Rites. Because he ranked ahead of the grandson of Qin Hui, the powerful official of the Zhuhe faction, and because he did not forget the national humiliation and "happy talk about restoration", he asked "to enrich the family first in matters of gifts, and to deal with big businessmen in matters of taxation", so he was deposed by Qin Hui. .

Hui died and became the chief registrar of Ningde County, Fuzhou. Xiaozong succeeded to the throne and was granted a Jinshi background. Later, because he urged Zhang Jun to go to the Northern Expedition, there was a disagreement between his subordinates and generals. In addition, the Zhuhe faction blocked Rao, and the court was immediately shaken. Lu You was also given the title of "handing over Taiwan to advise, drumming up right and wrong, for example, talking about Zhang Jun's use of troops." dismissed from office for the crime. In the sixth year, he started to pass judgment on Kuizhou.

In the eighth year of Qiandao (1172), the main battle general Wang Yan hired Lu You to assist in military affairs in the middle of the curtain, which caused great changes in Lu You's life. Military life opened his arms and he wrote many passionate and patriotic poems.

"The frost is flying over my face and the cold is pressing down on my fingers, but I only want to serve the country with an inch of my heart" can be said to be a portrayal of his life and mood during this period. Although Lu You was full of sincerity in serving his country, due to the corruption of the imperial court, he only wanted peace and had no intention of making progress, and his ambition of restoring the country was never given the chance to be extended.

In the second year of Chunxi (1175), Fan Chengda invited Lu You to join his staff and serve as a counselor of the Chengdu Road Appeasement Department.

Lu and Fan were friends in poetry and literature, so they did not adhere to official etiquette very much, which aroused ridicule from their colleagues; and because their ambition to restore the country and personal fame could not be extended for a long time, they were often more indulgent and frivolous. His behavior was criticized by his colleagues for being "irregular and drunken." So Lu You simply called himself "Fang Weng" and mocked himself in his poems.
