Sometimes I lie drunk and don't know day and night, and sometimes I pin my inner lofty on the lonely clouds in the blue sky.
Excerpt from Farewell, My Friend Chen.
Richie
In the fourth month, the south wind blew the yellow barley plain, the jujube flowers had not withered, and the leaves of Laka had grown.
The green peaks we left at dawn can still be seen at night. Go out and miss your hometown.
Chen, my friend, you have always been a great good man with your dragon beard, tiger eyebrows and your big forehead.
You hide thousands of books in your arms. You hold your head high and never bow your head.
I bought wine and made a wish. Everything is as light as a feather here at the East Gate.
You lie flat, drunk and forget the white sun, but you open your eyes from time to time and stare at the high lonely clouds.
The tide of the lonely river joined the dark sky and the ferryman boarded his boat. It's getting late and we can't sail.
People from Zheng can't go home, and people from Luoyang sigh with disappointment.
I heard that there are many friends around your woodland residence, and you were fired yesterday. Are they your friends today? ?

(3) The phrase "Castle Peak" refers to Chen's homesickness because of the Castle Peak where he meets day and night.

5] Beard: Curly beard. Qiu curled up his big head (sǐ ng): his forehead was wide. Here: forehead.

⑺ "No" sentence: It means that you refuse to bury grass and want to be an official. Chen once applied for the official department, but the official department refused to hire him because he didn't have a registered account. After he wrote a letter, the official department had to ask for instructions to make an exception and was praised by scholars all over the world. Chen became famous all over the world, but his career has been unsatisfactory.
East Gate: Although Chen lived in seclusion as an official, he only drank with the author and others, but he took the world as light as a feather. Gū wine: buy wine. Drink: To cause to drink. Cao: Dai and you. All: a "like". Hong Mao: The feather of a goose is a metaphor for something very light.
⑼ Jinkou: Ferry. "You lie down, slightly drunk and forget the white sun, but occasionally you open your eyes and stare at the high and lonely clouds." Appreciation of the whole poem "Lying flat and quiet, slightly drunk, forgetting the day, but looking up at the lonely clouds from time to time". A "Tianjin official": an official in charge of the ferry.
⑽ Zheng Ke: The place where he claimed to live (now near Xuchang, Henan) was the hometown of Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, so he called himself "Zheng Ke".
⑾ Luoyang Hangzi: refers to Chen, who is often active in Luoyang and Songshan, hence the name.
