What do you mean this past year should be a good time and a good scene?

It's been a long time since I left each other, and people who love each other are no longer together. I think even if we meet fine weather and beautiful scenery, it just seems like nothing.

According to Baidu Chinese, "this past year should be a good time and a good scene in name only" means that people who love each other have not been together for many years. I guess, even if they encounter fine weather and beautiful scenery, they are just like a name, which comes from the work Yulin Chills, written by Liu Yong, a poet in the Song Dynasty.

Liu Yong (about 984- about 1053), formerly known as Sanbian, whose word is Jingzhuang, was later renamed Liu Yong, whose word is also known as Liu Qi. He was born in Feixian County, Yizhou (now Feixian County, Shandong Province) and was a representative of graceful and restrained school.
