Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei
Original text:
Seeing friends off in the mountains, Chai Men is half hidden at sunset.
The grass turns green again in spring, but what about you, my friend Prince? .
Translation:
Farewell to friends in the mountains, the sunset half masks Chai Men. Spring grass will give birth to new green next year, friend, can you give it back to me?
Appreciate:
The third and fourth sentences of this poem "The grass turns green again in spring, but what about you, my friend Prince?" It is transformed from the words "Jun and Sun swim and don't return, spring grass grows and flowers grow" in "Chu Ci Zhao Hermit". Fu lamented that the wanderer had been gone for a long time, and these two poems would never come back when they broke up with pedestrians.
These two sentences use the meaning of "Chu ci Zhao recluse", but they don't feel like allusions at all, but they feel like affectionate words flowing naturally from the poet's heart. The allusions here are not only appropriate, but also flexible and ingenious. Wang Sun in "Songs of Chu Recruiting Hermits" is in the mountain where he stayed for a long time, and the author of Ci wanted to recruit him to leave the mountain, but Wang Weishi used it against his will and hoped that his friends would return to the mountain.
"Chu Ci Zhao Hermit" laments the wanderer's long separation, and on the day when Wang Weishi broke up with the pedestrian, he may never return. "Songs of the South Calling a Hermit" uses a direct exclamatory sentence, while Wang Wei uses an interrogative tone, which conveys more subtle and rich feelings.
