Translated Poems: Last night, the autumn rain fell continuously on the river and sky in Wudi. This morning, I saw off guests at Furong Tower and faced the lonely Chu Mountain. If my relatives and friends in Luoyang ask about my current situation, please tell them that I am still ice-cold, in a pure white jade pot. Appreciation This is a farewell poem. The first sentence begins with the autumn rain last night, setting a desolate atmosphere for farewell. The word "Ping Ming" in the second sentence indicates the time to see off guests; "Chu Shan Gu" not only describes the friend's whereabouts, but also implies his own mood when seeing off guests. Three or four sentences, written about myself, are still consistent with the meaning of farewell. Because Xin Jian is the poet's hometown, when Xin Jian returns to his hometown, his relatives and friends must ask about the poet's situation. Therefore, when the poet bid farewell to Xin Jian, he specially asked him: "If relatives and friends in my hometown ask about my current situation, just say, my Being a person is like a crystal clear piece of ice, packed in a pure white jade pot.
