The source is Tang's "Farewell".
My friend appreciated Wang Wei's farewell to his friend and said to him, "Things didn't go well, so I decided to go back to Zhong Nanshan to live in seclusion." Nanshan: It's Zhongnanshan, which is the Qinling Mountains. These two poems are often used to express a person's melancholy mood of looking forward to returning to his hometown or changing his environment when he is frustrated. Later generations quoted two poems, Answering with you: "I am dissatisfied" and "I wish to rest at the foot of Nanshan", so it is unnecessary to interpret Nanshan as the ultimate mountain. . Nanshan represents only a symbolic meaning.
Whole poem
say goodbye to
[Tang] Wang Wei
I got off the horse, poured you wine and asked where you were going and why.
You said you would go back to Zhongnanshan because you were not proud of your life.
Just left, I want to ask again, look at the white clouds floating.
Make an appreciative comment
This is a farewell poem. He didn't say who he was dating, but told us that his friend was depressed and retired. This poem, like many of Wang Wei's poems, has no allusions or gorgeous sentences, but it is clear and meaningful. The first two lines of this poem, "I got off the horse and gave you wine. I asked you where you were going and why." Write that he dismounted to drink goodbye and asked him where he was going. When a friend answered him, he wrote two or three sentences, "and you replied," I am dissatisfied "and will rest at the foot of Nanshan." Expressing dissatisfaction, I want to retire to Nanshan. These two sentences are the author's introduction or sketch techniques. The last two sentences: "but don't ask questions, the white clouds pass through there without end." Go ahead, don't ask again, there are boundless white clouds in the sky. The most important thing is the last sentence, which means that when you get to Nanshan, you can enjoy the clouds leisurely The implication is that you can move from 10 thousand things to freedom. This is the same as Wang Wei's famous "My Retreat in Zhongnanshan": "I will walk until the water stops me, and then sit and watch the rising clouds." This used to be considered as the most interesting famous sentence. This is the center of this poem. Wang Wei appreciates and sympathizes with his friend who will be divorced from reality. This attitude can be realized from "but don't ask questions". His artistic achievements can't hide his negative thoughts. This is also recognized by everyone.
