This is a poem by Wang Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, who sent an envoy to Anxi.
The whole poem is as follows: Weicheng is rainy and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow. Sincerely advise friends to drink a glass of wine, and it is difficult to meet their loved ones when they go out to Yang Guan in the west.
The literal meaning of the poem: the drizzle in the morning wet the floating dust of the Acropolis; The hotel with blue bricks and green tiles, surrounded by willows, is particularly fresh and clear. Please come to the farewell bar again; Because after you leave Yangguan, you won't see your old friends there.
Appreciation of the whole poem:
The first two sentences of this poem describe the time, place and atmosphere of farewell, creating a melancholy atmosphere for farewell. In the morning, the Acropolis Guest House extends from east to west, and the postal road has no end. Willow trees surround the guest house and the postal road is on both sides. All this is a very common sight, but it is picturesque and lyrical. Yu Chao plays an important role here. The rain didn't last long in the morning, but it stopped as soon as it got wet. On the way out of Chang 'an West, cars and horses crisscross on weekdays, and the dust is flying. When I saw you off, the rain suddenly stopped, the weather was fine, and the road looked clean and refreshing. The word "light dust" means wet, and it is used in a measured way here, indicating that the rain is clear and the dust is not wet, just right, just like God's will, and a light dust road is specially arranged for people who travel far away. Hostel, originally a companion of travelers; Willow is a symbol of parting. Choosing these two things is the author's intention to say goodbye. They are usually associated with sadness and no hate, and show a fascinating emotion. But at the moment, because of a shower of morning rain, there is a clear and fresh look-"the guest house is green and willow is new in color." On weekdays, the roads are dusty, and the willow color on the roadside is often shrouded in gray dust and fog. It takes a rain to wash its green color again, so "new" is because of the new willow color, which reflects the green guest house. In a word, from clear skies to clean roads, from green guest houses to green willows, a picture with fresh and clear colors has been formed, which provides a typical natural environment for this farewell. This is a affectionate parting, but it is not a sad parting. Instead, it reveals a light and hopeful mood. The rhymes of words such as "light dust", "green" and "new" are soft and lively, which strengthens the reader's feeling.
Three or four farewell words are a whole. If you want to deeply understand the deep feelings contained in this parting consolation, you can't help but involve "going west to Yang Guan". Yangguan, located at the western end of Hexi Corridor, is opposite to Yumenguan in the north. Since the Han dynasty, it has been the channel for the mainland to go out of the western regions. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong, and there were frequent exchanges between the mainland and the western regions. Joining the army or going to Yangguan is a desirable feat in the eyes of the prosperous Tang people. But at that time, the western part of Yangguan was still poor and barren, and the scenery was very different from that of the mainland. Although it is a feat, my friend's "going west to Yangguan" has to go through a long March and be prepared for the hardships and loneliness of going alone. Therefore, when he left, "advise you to drink more wine" was like a cup of rich emotional nectar, which soaked all the rich and profound friendship of the poet. There is not only a feeling of parting, but also a deep concern for the traveler's situation and mood, and sincere wishes for the future. For the party who saw him off, persuading the other party to "have another glass of wine" is not only to let his friend take away more of his friendship, but also to delay the breakup intentionally or unintentionally and let the other party stay for a moment. The feeling that "people have no reason to go out of Xiyangguan" belongs not only to walkers. Parting, I have a lot to say, but I don't know where to start at the moment. On this occasion, there is often silence. "Advise you to drink more wine" is a way to unconsciously break this silence and express the rich and complicated feelings at the moment. What the poet has not said is much richer than what he has said. In short, although three or four sentences are only moments, they are extremely rich moments.
