In 975 (the eighth year of Kaibao), the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu lost his family and defeated the country, surrendered to the flesh, and was imprisoned in Bianjing. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin refused because Li Yu had defended the city, and named him "Disobedient Marquis". Li Yu lived a life of a prisoner in humiliation.
Li Yu's lyrics are divided into two periods, before and after, and the later lyrics mostly pour out the pain of losing the country and the thoughts of going to the country, which are melancholy and sad, and deeply moving. "Seeing Joy" is a very representative one of the later lyrics.
The confusion and sorrow in the words is just an episode after the end of his court life, and since he had already returned to the Song Dynasty at that time, what is shown here is the heartache of his departure from his homeland to the country.
This poem is emotionally real, deep and natural, breaking through the style of writing "women's language" in a beautiful and greasy tone, and it is the pioneering work of the early Song Dynasty.

Seeing each other, go up to the west building alone without a word.
Li Yu Five Generations
Alone in the west building without a word, the moon is like a hook. Lonely Wutong deep courtyard lock Qingqiu.
Cut constantly, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful. Don't just have a general taste in mind.
Translations. The lonely man was silent, and slowly ascended the West Tower alone. Looking up at the sky, the waning moon is like a hook. The plane trees are lonely and isolated in the courtyard, and the deep courtyard is shrouded in the cold and bleak autumn colors.
The scissors are constantly cut, and the reason is not clear, which makes people's hearts feel numb, and it is the pain of losing the country. Such a sorrow of divorce and longing is now a different taste in my heart.
