Transferred from: Farewell to the viceroy for his post in Shu, the original text is as follows:
Across the wall of Sanqin, across a layer of fog, across a river.
We said goodbye sadly, and our two officials went in opposite directions.
After all, the world is just a small place.
If you don't do anything wrong, the child will get wet with towels.
Translation:
In the ancient country of Sanqin, the palace of Chang 'an city wall was arched.
The wind and smoke are rolling, and Wujin, Minjiang River, Zhou Shu can't be seen.
When I shake hands with you to say goodbye, I have mutual sympathy;
You and I are both people who are far away from home and go out to be officials.
As long as there is your confidant in the four seas,
No matter how far apart we are, we are like together.
Please don't cry sadly on the way to leave;
Like affectionate young men and women, they shed tears for each other.

This poem is a masterpiece of farewell poetry, which comforts you not to be sad when you leave. The first sentence is in strict opposition, and the third and fourth sentences are in the same strain, with scattered tones, turning reality into emptiness and ups and downs in literary context. "However, China holds our friendship, and heaven is still our neighbor." Its peak is prominent, which highly summarizes the scene of "profound friendship, mountains and rivers are irresistible" and points out the theme of "seeing off" at the end.
The whole poem is full of ups and downs, pulsating flow and broad-minded artistic conception. The sadness in farewell poems is characterized by bright colors, fresh and lofty language and unique content. This poem washes away the bitterness and lingering state in previous farewell poems, and embodies the poet's lofty aspirations, open-minded interests and broad-minded mind.
