Comment and analysis
This is a famous farewell song. One topic is "Send Yuan and Two Stones to Anxi". To Anxi, you must pass through Yangguan, which is Dunhuang, Gansu. The first two paragraphs of the poem indicate the season, place and scenery of farewell; Three or four farewell words. The first two sentences create a melancholy atmosphere of farewell, and the last two sentences are written diligently to persuade wine to leave love.
This poem was later compiled into Yuefu, widely read and became a famous farewell song. Or "Yangguanqu" or "Yangguansan Brothers". One of Bai Juyi's five poems about wine is: "Don't refuse to get drunk when you meet, and listen to the four tones of sunshine", and indicate that "four tones mean' to persuade you to drink more'."
The so-called "three folds in the sun" is because when singing, the first sentence is not folded, and the other three sentences are sung again. But some people think that only the last sentence overlaps three songs. According to Bai Letian's "fourth tone", it should be that the first sentence does not overlap and the other three sentences overlap. Otherwise, the sentence "advise you" can't be the fourth sound.
