Farewell to the ancient original grass
(Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
The grass grows in the original grass, and it withers and grows every year.
The wildfire cannot be burned out, but the spring breeze blows it again.
The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green meets the deserted city.
I sent the king and grandson off again, and the love was full of farewell.
The title "Farewell to ancient grass" is quite interesting. "Ancient grass" seems ordinary, but it captures the characteristics of "spring grass" with strong vitality. The first line of the poem "Li Li Yuan Grass" closely links the three words of the title "Ancient Yuan Cao", and uses the repeated word "Li Li" to describe the lushness of spring grass. The second sentence, "One year old and one glorious year," goes on to describe the law of the wild grasses on the original land that dries up in autumn and flourishes in spring. "Ku Rong" and "Rong Ku" are very different. The former is "spring grass", while the latter becomes autumn grass. The characteristic of ancient grass is that it has tenacious vitality. It can never be cut down or hoed. As long as a few roots remain, it will sprout again in the coming year and spread quickly across the wilderness. The "grass on the Lili Plain" is the banner of victory. No matter how fierce the fire is, it can't help the roots hidden deep in the ground. No matter how mercilessly the fire burns, once the spring breeze turns into rain, green weeds will appear everywhere again, which is a very vivid expression. The tenacious vitality of weeds. "Spring breeze blows and rebirths", the language is simple and powerful, and the word "rebirth" has three points in the lower part but a full meaning.
If the third and fourth sentences are based on "ancient original grass" and focus on writing cursive, then the fifth and sixth sentences continue to write "ancient original grass", but focus on "ancient original grass" to draw out the meaning. "Farewell" title means. The words "invasion" and "connection" are used to follow "rebirth" to describe a trend of spreading and expansion, once again highlighting the image of the strong "weed" in the competition for survival. Although the ancient city was deserted, the growth of green grass restored the ancient plain's youth. The earth is rejuvenated and the scene of the ancient plains with lush grass is so charming. Farewell to friends takes place in such a background. Such a scene makes the author melancholy and full of poetry. The lush and fragrant grass adds to the author's sadness of farewell. It seems that every blade of grass is full of farewell feelings. The author finishes the ending with this meaningful verse. At this point in the poem, the "farewell" is pointed out, the meaning of the title is clarified, and the whole article is connected, linking "ancient plains - grass - farewell" together.
The whole poem is rigorous in composition, the language is natural, fluent and neat, the description of the scene and the lyricism are harmonious, and the artistic conception is complete. It is the swan song of "Fu Dede".
I recommend this song. In fact, spring has just arrived here, and the grass on the lawn is gradually turning green, and I feel something in my heart.
