By praising the scenery of Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) and lamenting the rise and fall of history, this word expresses the author's worries about the government at that time and his concern for national political events. The upper column is written about what I saw when I visited the old capital of Jinling.
"Chengjiang", "Cuifeng", "Zhengfan", "Setting Sun", "Wine Flag", "West Wind", "Dark Clouds" and "Heron Rising", successively outline the majestic scenes of water, land and air, and the realm is desolate. I wrote down my thoughts in Jinling. The word "read" is used as a turning point, contrasting the past and present, intertwining time and space, intersecting reality and reality, expressing deep depression and heavy sighs about history and reality.

Guizhixiang·Jinling Nostalgia
The author Wang Anshi? Dynasty Song Dynasty
came to see him off. It is late autumn in my motherland, and the weather is beginning to calm down. Thousands of miles of clear river looks like a train, and the green peaks are like clusters. Return to the sail and go to the setting sun, with the west wind at your back and the wine flag leaning at an angle. The clouds on the colorful boat are light, the herons are rising on the stars and rivers, and it is difficult to draw a picture.
Remember the past and compete for prosperity. Sighing at the top of the building outside the door, sadness and hatred continue. For thousands of years, I have been proud of this. The old events of the Six Dynasties flow with the flowing water, but the cold smoke fades and the grass turns green. To this day, businesswomen still sing songs left behind in the backyard.
Translation: Climbing up the high-rise building and leaning on the railing, you can see the scenery in Jinling like late autumn, and the weather has just begun to turn sour. The Yangtze River that flows thousands of miles is as clear as a white line, and the green peaks are majestic and steep like bunches of arrows.
Sailboats shuttle back and forth in the sunset, and when the west wind rises, wine flags placed diagonally are fluttering in the small streets. Colorful painted boats appear in the thin clouds, and egrets on the island in the river sometimes rest and sometimes fly up. This beautiful scenery cannot be fully painted even with the most beautiful pictures.
I recall how prosperous the old capital Jinling was back then. Those who lamented that "the Koreans are catching tigers outside the door, and Zhang Lihua is at the top of the building", the sorrow and hatred of the country's subjugation continued one after another. For thousands of years, this is the scenery that greets you when you lean on the railing and look into the distance. Don't lament the gains and losses in history.
The old events of the Six Dynasties have disappeared with the flowing water, leaving only the cold smoke and the yellowing green grass. To this day, businesswomen still don't know the sorrow and hatred of the country's subjugation, and they always sing the legacy of "The Back Courtyard".
