The fragrant grass and green sky come from "Farewell".
"Farewell" is a song written by Li Shutong. It has been sung for decades and has become a classic song.
The lyrics of "Farewell" are similar to the long and short sentences in Chinese poetry. They have the elegance of classical poetry, but the meaning is plain and easy to understand.
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky.
The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sun sets outside the mountain.
At the end of the sky, in the corner of the earth, there are only a few close friends.
A pot of turbid wine will extinguish all the joy, don’t sleep in the cold tonight.
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky.
I asked you when you will come here, but don’t linger when you come.
At the end of the sky, in the corner of the earth, there are only a few close friends.
Life is rarely filled with reunions, but with separations.
The lyrics of "Farewell" are divided into two parts. In the first part, the author depicts a scene of upcoming farewell from different levels and aspects.
As a third person, it is used to narrate that a friend is about to travel a long distance, and the two of them, as best friends, will go their separate ways from now on, so they go a long way to the outside of the Changting Pavilion. Changting Pavilion was usually a plank road in ancient times. For travelers to take a rest or to see off friends, the pavilion is a metaphor for the separation of two people. There is vast loneliness beside the ancient road, and the grass stretches as far as the eye can see, showing a lonely scene, marking the farewell from different angles.
