The writing background of "seeing friends off"

After the first couplet, the couplet said, "You must leave me here and drift away", pointed out the topic, and said, "Like a loose grass, a hundred miles away", which confessed that this friend was alone and now he was going to travel far. The solitary crown is a kind of barren grass that has no roots and floats in the wind. Here is a metaphor for a friend who travels far away. After they say goodbye here, they will fly with the wind like weeds, and Wan Li will wander and find no trace. According to strict metrical requirements, couplets of two or three sentences must be antithetical sentences, but the couplets of "Yiwei" and "Wan Li" are not neat, because "Wei" is a function word and "Li" is a content word. This antithesis of different parts of speech was avoided in later poems, especially in the late Tang Dynasty. Here it is.

The neckline is neatly written, "I will think of you in the clouds, so think of me in the sunset." Clouds like the sunset, wanderers like their old friends. At the same time, the meaning of this couplet is also very rich. The erratic "floating clouds" and the infinitely sentimental "sunset" are used to express the complicated and helpless thoughts of both sides at this time. A piece of white clouds in the sky changes with the wind, just like the whereabouts of friends. Since then, the mountains and rivers in the north have been scattered and have been arbitrarily west to east; The fiery sunset on the horizon is slowly setting, and it seems to be reluctant to part with the land that is about to say goodbye, which just conveys Li Bai's farewell to his friends. In combination with the above, it is not sad or difficult to break up with friends under the background of beautiful scenery and sunset.

Tail couplet "We waved goodbye, and my horse neighed again and again." Farewell thousands of miles, friends waved goodbye in succession, which is the only specific action involving pedestrians in the whole poem, and this action undoubtedly opened the floodgate of the author's inner feelings again, but Li Bai did not directly describe his feelings at this time. Perhaps he felt that everything he said at this time was superfluous and unsatisfactory, so he simply took a step and ended the whole article with the scene of "My horse was neighing again and again". This sentence has a source. The poet and his friends waved goodbye at once, and the two horses seemed to understand their master's mind. When they were leaving, they couldn't help screaming at the same time. This unexpected "Sasha Vujacic A?vagho?a" enveloped the whole poem in a vigorous and somewhat sad atmosphere.

This farewell poem is very touching, with green mountains and flowing water, sunset and white clouds, and the scenery is patchy and colorful. Especially when waving goodbye at the end, the bell is vivid, catchy, unexpected and unforgettable. It is worthy of being one of the most distinctive masterpieces in Li Bai's farewell poems.
