However, despite China's friendship,
Heaven is still our neighbor.
Why are you wandering at the fork in the road,
The child is holding a towel.

Farewell to the viceroy and go to Shu to take up his post.
Tang Dynasty: Wang Bo
Through this wall surrounding the three Qin areas,
Through the mist that unites five rivers.
We said goodbye to each other sadly,
We two officials run counter to each other.
However, despite China's friendship,
Heaven is still our neighbor.
Why are you wandering at the fork in the road,
The child is holding a towel.
Second, translation.
Wei Chang 'an, the land of Sanqin; Far away in Sichuan, but far away.
You and I have similar fates, running around in official career, far from home.
As long as you have intimate friends, you don't feel far away within the four seas. Even at the ends of the earth, I feel like a close neighbor.
Breaking up at a fork in the road really doesn't need to be immersed in love and shed tears.
Three. Brief introduction of the author
Wang Bo (about 650-676), Zi An, Han nationality, was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Longmen, Gujiang County (now Hejin, Shanxi Province) was born in a Confucian family, and was called "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty" with Yang Jiong, Lu and Luo. Wang Bo is the first of the four outstanding men.
Wang Bo was smart and studious since he was a child. According to Old Tang Book, he was able to write articles at the age of six, and he was known as a "child prodigy". At the age of nine, I read Yan Shigu's Notes on Hanshu and wrote ten volumes of Finger Defects to correct my mistakes. At the age of sixteen, he was appointed Saburo at the request of Su You Branch. He was kicked out of Pei Wang Fu for "cockfighting". After that, Wang Bo spent three years traveling in Bashu mountains and rivers and wrote a lot of poems. After returning to Chang 'an, he asked Zhou Guo to join the army. When he joined the army, he was demoted twice for killing government slaves privately. In August of the third year of Shang Yuan (676), he returned from visiting relatives across the sea and died of drowning. In the poetic genre, he is good at five laws and five sentences. His representative works include Farewell to Du DuDu's appointment in Shu. His main literary achievement is parallel prose, which is abundant and of good quality. His representative works include Preface to Wang Tengting and so on.
