Nothing can make people intoxicated but flowers and wine. Compare beauty to flowers, and wine is used to drown their sorrows.

I came to Wudi in the night when the cold rain was raining all over the river, and at dawn I sent my friends away, leaving only the lonely shadow of Chushan.
when I arrive in Luoyang, if any relatives and friends ask you about me, please tell them that my heart is still as pure as ice in a jade pot, and I have not been defiled by worldly affairs such as fame and fortune.
looking south of Danyang, I saw the autumn sea is overcast and rainy; Looking to the north of Danyang, I saw deep clouds in Chutian.

Writing background:
This poem was written in the first year of Tianbao (742) when Wang Changling was appointed as the county magistrate of Jiangning (now Nanjing). In the 15th year of Kaiyuan in Wang Changling (727), he was a scholar.
In the 27th year of Kaiyuan (739), he went to Lingnan; Returning to the north the following year, he has been appointed as Jiangning Cheng since the end of the year, and he is still an official. Xin gradually is a friend of Wang Changling. This time, he plans to cross the river from Runzhou (now Zhenjiang), take Yangzhou and go north to Luoyang. Wang Changling may accompany him from Jiangning to Runzhou, and then break up here. This poem should be written for this time.
seeing the guests off in plain sight is a parting gesture. "Cold rain enters Wu at night", misty rain hangs over Jiang Tian in Wu (Jiangning area, which is the hometown of Sun Wu in the Three Kingdoms), weaving into an endless network of worries.
The rainy night adds to the bleak autumn, and also highlights the gloomy atmosphere of parting. The chill not only pervaded the misty rain, but also permeated the hearts of two parting friends. The word "Lian" and the word "Jin" describe the steady and continuous rain, and the dynamic coming from the river rain can be clearly perceived by people, so it is conceivable that the poet stayed up all night because of his feelings. ?
However, this misty night rain picture of Wujiang, which is connected by water and sky, just shows an extremely lofty and magnificent realm. In the middle and late Tang poetry and graceful Song poetry, the sound of rain is often written on such trivial things as the phoenix tree under the window, the iron horse in front of the eaves, the residual lotus in the pool and so on.
Wang Changling, on the other hand, didn't really write down the details of how to perceive the coming of autumn rain. He just summarized his hearing, vision and imagination into the rain situation of Lianjiang entering Wu, and dyed a lot of paper and misty rain with a large area of light ink, which set off the broad artistic conception of "seeing off guests in plain and bright, leaving Chu Mountain alone" with great verve. Early in the morning, it was already dawn, and Xin gradually was about to board a boat and return to the north.
in his later years, he was demoted to captain Long Biao (now Qianyang, Hunan). After the Anshi Rebellion, he returned to his hometown and told the story of Bozhou, where he was killed by Qiu Xiao, the secretariat. His poems are good at the seven wonders, and the frontier poems are vigorous and high in style; There are also works of indignant current politics and depicting palace grievances. The original collection has been lost, and the Ming Dynasty compiled Wang Changling Collection.
