Excerpt from the original article: Those who are in ecstasy can only say goodbye! Moreover, Qin and Wu were cut off from the country, and Yan and Zhao were thousands of miles apart. Sometimes the moss begins to grow in spring, and the autumn wind blows temporarily. As a result, my heart is broken and I feel miserable. The wind whistled, and the clouds were long and strangely colored. The boat is stagnant on the waterfront, and the car is sluggish on the side of the mountain. In front of the horse, the horse hummed coldly without stopping.
Translation: Nothing is more depressing and soul-crushing than separation. What's more, Qin and Wu are very far apart, and Yan and Song are thousands of miles apart. Sometimes the moss marks in spring have just begun to grow, and suddenly the autumn wind begins to blow. Therefore, the wanderer is far away from his heart and feels desolate and melancholy.
The wind whistled and made a different sound than usual, and the clouds were long and showed strange colors. The boat stayed motionless by the water's edge, the car wandered along the mountain road without moving forward, the paddle was too slow to move forward, and the horse neighed miserably.
