“Quail Sky: Drunkenly Patting Spring Clothes and Cherish the Old Fragrance” is a work by Yan Jidao, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the author’s memories of the past joys and laughter, this poem reveals his infinite feelings and slight sadness for his life. The first part describes the sorrow of parting from the perspective of the room, and the second part follows the description of the scenery in the first part and extends the field of vision, describing the long and difficult journey home and the hopeless encounter with the vastness of the world.
《鹧鸪天·醉拍春衫惜旧香》是北宋词人晏几道的作品。此词在对作者往日欢歌笑乐的回忆中，流露出他对落拓平生的无限感慨和微痛纤悲。上片于室内的角度写离恨，下片紧承上片写景，并将视野延伸，以天地之浩渺，叙说归途漫长难寻，再见无期。
《鹧鸪天·醉拍春衫》 晏几道
醉拍春衫惜旧香，
天将离恨恼疏狂。
年年陌上生秋草，
日日楼中到夕阳。
云渺渺，水茫茫。
征人归路许多长。
相思本是无凭语，
莫向花笺费泪行。
Partridge Sky
Yan Jidao
Drunk, I caress my robe which smells sweet as of old;
Heaven would vex me with parting grief wild and cold.
From year to year green grass will yellow by roadside;
From day to day my bower’s drowned in eventide.
Cloud on cloud passes by
O’er water far and nigh.
How long’s my roamer’s homeward way?
Could I express my longing night and day?
Oh, shed no tears on what you’ll say!
