Cen Can
The old garden has a long way to go east, and the tears of the double-sleeved dragon bell have not dried.
Don't use paper and pencil immediately when you meet, and leave a message to report peace.
[Notes]
Hometown: refers to Chang 'an. Dragon Bell: It's wet with cold.
2 rely on: entrust.
[Appreciation]
This poem was written by Cen Can on his way to Anxi. The first two sentences are about looking east at home and expressing homesickness. In the last two sentences, the writer happened to meet an acquaintance on his way to Chang 'an, and had no pen and paper at hand, so he had to take a message home to report his safety. This is just a trivial matter in daily life, but the author grasped this detail and expressed his amazing concrete real feelings with natural and simple words, so it can impress people.
{translation}
Looking back at the East, my hometown is thousands of miles away, and the road is long and Xiu Yuan is awkward; There was a dragon bell on my face and tears on my sleeve, but I still didn't do it. On the way, I met you immediately, but I didn't have a pen and paper to write a book. I can only ask you to take a message and go home to report peace.
