Interpretation of Li Shangyin's "Huashan Title Empress Dowager Hall".
This poem is one of the many themes in Li Shangyin's The Queen Mother and the Yellow Bamboo Map.

The meaning expressed by the author is very implicit. This poem is actually used to condemn the rulers' disregard for people's lives, focusing on their own enjoyment and seeking immortality.

Yaochi: The Queen Mother of the West and Zhou Muwang fell in love in Yaochi. Huang Zhu: When Zhou Muwang went out, he saw hungry people everywhere on the roadside, so he became "Brother Huang Zhu".

Meaning of the whole poem (untranslated): The ancestral temple of the Queen Mother of the West is located at the foot of Lotus Peak in the south peak of Huashan Mountain, far away from Yaochi (the author implicitly expresses that she met Zhou Muwang far away, because Zhou Muwang is a human being and has died. This sentence satirizes rulers like Zhou Muwang, who are unrealistic and demand immortality. Why is the ancestral temple located here? Because the Queen Mother of the West will visit Ma Gu in the East China Sea and persuade her not to plant mulberry and bamboo. (The visit of the Queen Mother of the West shows that she can't wait for Zhou Muwang, but misses her feelings at that time and hopes that Ma Gu will plant bamboo to pray. This sentence further satirizes the greed and absurdity of the ruler.
