The Beauty of "Kan" in Nanpu Bie

Nanpubie

Bai Juyi

In Nanpu's bleak drudgery, the autumn wind is bleak.

Turn back immediately, my heart is broken, so I can leave and don't look back.

According to the predecessors, the word "Kan" seems ordinary, but in fact it is very vivid and can really reveal the image of the lyric hero. Do you agree with this statement? Why?

A: I agree. Look, in the poem, it means to look back (the first step). I left people, and I often looked back. Every time I look back, I feel deeply grieved. This word makes us seem to see the tearful image of the lyric hero (step 2). The word "look" alone vividly shows the sadness of parting (step 3).
