Extended data:
The whole poem is entitled "Boating in Guazhou", which points out the poet's foothold.
The first sentence "Guazhou in Jingkou is a water room" describes the scenery in front of us. The poet stood at Guazhou Ferry and looked south. He saw that Jingkou and Guazhou on the south bank were so close, separated by a river. The word "one water sword" describes the rapid and instantaneous arrival of a ship.
In the second sentence, "Zhongshan is only separated from Chung Shan Man", he wrote a review of Zhongshan with nostalgia. Wang Anshi settled in Jiangning with his father Wang Yi in the fourth year of Jing You (1037), and Jiangning has since become his resting place. After the first strike, he lived in Zhongshan, Jiangning
The word "only separated" is very close to Zhongshan. The interval of "Chung Shan Man Dao" is so common that it reflects the deep attachment of poetry to Zhongshan; In fact, after all, Zhongshan was blocked by "Chung Shan Man", so the poet turned his attention to the riverbank.
The third sentence, "Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan", depicts the beautiful spring scenery along the river bank and places the poet's mighty feelings. Among them, the word "green" is carefully selected and very expressive.
Summarize "When will the bright moon shine on me?" In terms of time, it is already night. The poet looked back for a long time, unaware that the red sun was setting in the west and the bright moon was rising. Although the scenery on the other side disappeared in the dim moonlight, the attachment to Zhongshan deepened. He believed that he would jump into the old forest one day, so he expressed this idea in a rhetorical way at the end.
