Tang He Zhang Zhi
Young people leave home, old people return, and the local accent has not changed.
When children meet strangers, they will smile and ask where the guests are from.
Interpretation: I have been away from my hometown for many years, and my personnel have been over half recently. Only in front of Jinghu Lake, the spring breeze does not change the waves of the past. I left my hometown for a long time, and I didn't feel that the personnel changes in my hometown were too great until I got home. Only the clear water of Jinghu Lake in front of the door ripples in circles under the spring breeze, just like it did more than 50 years ago. After enjoying the poet's home, he learned about the personnel changes in his hometown through conversations with relatives and friends. While sighing for a long time, he could not help sighing about the impermanence of personnel. "Leaving my hometown for many years" is equivalent to the last song "Leaving home to be the boss when I was young". The poet never tires of repeating the same meaning, just because all feelings are caused by decades of exile. So the next sentence is to dig out the discussion about personnel. The sentence "Recently, people have passed half" seems abstract and objective, but it actually contains many specific contents that deeply touch the poet's feelings. The sigh of "finding half our friends dead" and all kinds of sighs caused by the sinking of relatives and friends are included. It's too numerous to mention, and you have to go in a cage.
