Fog and thick clouds covered a long day, and sadness suppressed my heart. Long Rui's brain burns and consumes in an animal-shaped copper furnace. It's the Double Ninth Festival again, and the chill in the middle of the night soaked the jade pillow gauze account.

At dusk, I went to the yard alone to enjoy chrysanthemums and drink, and I went home with chrysanthemum flowers on my sleeves. Don't say it won't fascinate people. Can you see that the people in that room are thinner than chrysanthemums when the west wind rolls up the curtains?

Li Qingzhao said that "people are thinner than yellow flowers", and the reason why yellow flowers were used as a metaphor was mainly in line with the solar terms at that time. There is a saying that "the festival is also the Double Ninth Festival" before "Drunk Flowers", and it is pointed out that this poem was written on the Double Ninth Festival in 1999, which brings out the literary spirit of the whole poem.

The ancients attached great importance to the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It is a custom for relatives and friends to get together to remember their ancestors, climb mountains, enjoy dogwood and drink chrysanthemum wine together. Therefore, Li Qingzhao also used words such as "wine" and "yellow flower" to symbolize the Double Ninth Festival.

Li Qingzhao's "Drunk Flowers" describes the lovesickness after leaving her husband. Poets use "people are thinner than yellow flowers" to describe that wives miss their husbands, which makes their beautiful image thin.
