A play for a friend
Jia Dao
If you don’t write poetry for a day, your heart will be like an abandoned well.
The pen and inkstone are used as a windlass, and the chanting is used as a string.
I still feel cold even when I come back again.
The book is a gift to someone who cares about you, and the words contain a lot of hardship.
The meaning of "play" is: to draw water as a metaphor for poetry. Popular and humorous; the whole poem is the poet's self-portrait of life, with a sense of self-deprecation.
