Make an appreciative comment
This poem was written by a poet who happened to meet an eastern practitioner who went to Chang 'an on his way to the west, which aroused the poet's infinite homesickness and expressed the poet's open, heroic and optimistic mind. The wandering journey and homesickness are fully revealed in the poem.
"Far East of Hometown" is about the actual feelings in front of us. The poet has left his hometown for many days and is on his way to the western regions. Looking back at Chang' an, the hometown of the East, it is of course a long way, and the feeling of missing can't help but attack my heart, and the feeling of homesickness is hard to recover. "Hometown" refers to my home in Chang 'an. "Looking east" means pointing out the location of Chang 'an.
"The tears of the two sleeves are dry" means that the tears of homesickness can't be wiped away, so that both sleeves are wet, but the tears just can't stop. This sentence expresses the feelings of missing relatives with exaggerated rhetoric, and also lays a high foundation for the following writing to bring a book home to "report peace".
"There is no pen and paper when we meet, and there is news from you when we report peace." These two sentences are about the situation that you met an emissary in Beijing and wanted to take a book home to report peace, but there was no pen and paper. They were completely anxious to see the traveler at once, and they behaved very vividly. The word "meet" points out the topic. On the way to Anxi, I met an old friend, who was the messenger to Beijing. They all rode on horseback and passed each other by. One went west, and the other returned to Chang 'an in the East. His wife was in Chang 'an, and she just wanted her old friend to take a letter home safely. But she had no pen and paper and had no time to write, so she had to ask her old friend to take a message. This last poem is very concise and neat, but it contains the poet's deep affection, faint taste and charm in simplicity. Cen Can came here with the ambition of "fame and fortune". At this time, the mood is complicated. On the one hand, he has tenderness and homesickness for the imperial city, on the other hand, he also shows the poet's heroic mind eager to make contributions. Tenderness and pride are intertwined and touching.
The language of this poem is simple and natural, full of rich frontier life flavor, with both life interest and human touch, fresh and lively, profound aftertaste, sincere and sincere. Poets are good at refining and summarizing the thoughts and words of many people by artistic means, making them typical. It shows rich charm among the people and can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time. This is the characteristic of Cen Can's poems.
