Also known as "Fu De Gu Cao Yuan Farewell"
Tang Bai Juyi
The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.
Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.
Weeds and wild flowers are all over the ancient road, and the end of the grass in the sun is your journey.
I once again sent my bosom friend, and the thick grass represented my deep affection.

The green grass grows in spring, sending the wanderer away, but the grass is full, leaving harm.
Comment: This is an object-chanting poem, which can also be regarded as an allegorical poem. Some people think it's a mockery of the villain. Judging from the whole poem, although the original grass refers to something, its metaphorical meaning is uncertain. "Wildfire never completely burned them, and the spring breeze blew high." However, as a kind of "tenacity", it is well known and has become a swan song that has been passed down through the ages.
