Say goodbye to Dong
He has been wrapped in a big cloth all his life, and his mind is full of poems and books.
Tired of cooking leaves with old Confucianism, it is better to step on Sophora japonica with children.
If it's empty, you can't find a spring horse or see a car.
Proud of the secular, Sun Wong wet words such as crow.
Vernacular translation
In life, the body is wrapped in coarse cloth, and the temperament learned in the chest is naturally radiant. I don't like chatting with the old Confucian about the bitter days of "cooking leaves", so I decided to take the imperial examination with the scholars.
If you don't have money in your pocket, you won't buy a "painted face" horse, but you will look at the dazzling "choosing a husband's car". I can also boast to secular people in the exam, and my name is written in crow black on the imperial edict.

Creation background
The poem "Farewell to Dong Chuan" was given to Dong Chuan when Su Shi left office and Fengxiang signed a sentence to go to Bianjing and passed through Chang 'an.
In the sixth year of Jiayou (106 1), Su Shi took the Chinese secondary school exam, which is usually called "three-year Beijing Examination", and got the third grade. He was awarded the judge of Fengxiang House in Dali, accompanied by Dong.
Dong Chuan is down and out in Fengxiang, preparing to take the imperial examination. Su Shi wrote this poem after returning to Chang 'an in the second year.
