Second, under the next berth of Beibao Mountain, Wangwan, under the Castle Peak, me and my boat, winding green water. Until the river bank widens at low tide, and no wind blows my lonely sail. ... night gives way to the ocean of the sun, and the old year melts in freshness. Finally, I can send my messenger, Wild Goose, back to Luoyang.
This five-character poem was written by the poet in late winter and early spring when he entered Wu from Chu and docked at the foot of Gubei Mountain in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province on his way eastward along the Yangtze River. It was late winter and spring, and the sun rose. Facing the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, the poet is alone in the waterway, feeling the passage of time and homesickness.
However, because the poet's emotional content is completely absorbed in the vivid and sensible natural environment in a specific time and space, the emotional tone of the poem is not only slightly sad, but also shows the joy of discovering unique Jiangnan scenery and vigorous natural vitality at the turn of day and night, forming a magnificent aesthetic realm.
