The Writing Background of Farewell

Farewell to Shu as viceroy in Tang Dynasty

Through the wall of Sanqin and the fog of five rivers, we two officials said goodbye and parted ways.

Know yourself in the sea. Heaven is still our neighbor. Why are you wandering at the fork in the road? The child is holding a towel.

Background:

A friend is going to be an official in Sichuan, and the poet gave him this poem as a gift. Collect the whole poem first and then release it. At first, they said that they were both business tourists, which meant something else. Then suddenly, the conversation changed, saying that where there are no friends, you don't have to cry and behave like children. The momentum is heroic and the artistic conception is broad. This poem washes away the bitterness and lingering state in previous farewell poems, and embodies lofty aspirations and broad-minded mind. "However, as long as China keeps our friendship, heaven is still our neighbor." It has become an immortal sentence to express deep friendship between friends thousands of miles away. This poem should be said to be a good farewell poem.
