How many pedestrians shed tears in the middle of Qingjiang River in Yugutai!
Looking at Chang 'an in the northwest, there are countless poor mountains.
Castle peak can't cover up, after all, it flows east.
In the evening, the river is gloomy and there are partridges in the mountains.
[Notes]
1. Yugutai: In the southwest of Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Qingjiang: This refers to the Ganjiang River.
2. Pedestrians: people harassed and expelled by nomadic people.
3. Chang 'an: This refers to Bianjing (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province). Looking up at the northwest, I wanted to see the old capital Bianjing, but I was blocked by Wanshan Mountain.
4. Yu Yu: I am worried.
5. Partridge: The name of this bird, accompanied by its shrill cry, sounds like saying "impossible to go", which also means that it is impossible to restore the Central Plains.
[explanation]
This word, from nostalgia to reality, expresses the author's depressed mood that the Central Plains has not been recovered and his frustration and anguish that the ideal of driving out the enemy and saving the country cannot be realized. "Castle Peak can't cover up, after all, it flows eastward", which is now used to illustrate that the development of history is independent of human will. Example: "The green hills cannot be covered, after all, they flow eastward." In the face of the ruthless historical trend, the Gang of Four finally collapsed.
