Liu Yuxi's poem "Reward Lotte Seeing Gifts at the First Banquet in Yangzhou"

Bashan Chushui's desolate sentence is: Twenty-three years of abandonment.

Original poem:

Bashan Chushui is a desolate place, abandoned for twenty-three years.

Reciting the poems on the flute in the nostalgic space, when I go to the countryside to read it, I feel like a dead person.

Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees spring in front of the diseased trees.

Listen to a song of Junge today, and let me have a glass of wine for the time being.

Translation:

Being relegated to desolate areas like Bashan and Chushui, he spent twenty-three years in decline. Remembering old friends, I recite Wen Di's poems in vain, and when I return from exile after a long time, I feel that things are no longer the same as in the past. Thousands of sailboats are still passing by the capsized ship; thousands of trees are thriving in front of the withered trees. After listening to the poem you recited for me today, let me cheer myself up with this glass of wine.
