Extended data
This poem "Farewell in the Mountain" did not write a farewell scene from the pavilion, but was ingenious and chose a completely different point from ordinary farewell poems.
The first sentence of the poem, "Friend, I have watched you go down the mountain", tells the reader to say goodbye at the beginning, and uses a seemingly unemotional word "ba" to brush off the farewell scene and feelings. Here, from farewell to sending away, we skipped for a while.
The second sentence, "I still closed my thatched door until now", was written during the day when pedestrians were sent away, and it took longer. When the poet connects his life with poetry, he cuts off the feelings and thoughts of those who bid him farewell during this time and regards it as a dark field.
The third and fourth sentences of this poem "The grass turns green again in spring, but what about you, my friend Prince?" It comes from the sentence "Wang Sun wanders without return, spring grass grows flowers" in "Songs of the South to Recruit Hermits". However, Fu lamented that the wanderer had been gone for a long time, and these two poems would never come back when they broke up with pedestrians.
As a question, "return" should have been raised to pedestrians at the time of parting, but it floated to people's hearts here when pedestrians had gone and closed at dusk, becoming a suspense that no one cared about.
This is not the usual farewell speech, but the heartfelt expression after "farewell", which shows that the people in the poem are still shrouded in thoughts until dusk. Although I just broke up, I am looking forward to coming back soon, but I am afraid that I will not come back for a long time.
This farewell poem is not a farewell to pavilions, but a step further, writing the hope of reunion after parting. This is beyond the general farewell poem.
