One day, when Wei had nothing to do, he had to go out for a walk and get some air. I don't know how long it took, but he came to a place with pleasant scenery. This is the Xijiang River in the west of Chuzhou County, commonly known as Shangma River. Because Wei has been a secretariat of Chuzhou and Suzhou in Jiangsu, Wei is not very strange here. There is only the lonely grass by the stream, and the sweet chirping of orioles came from the depths of the forest not far away, which made Wei infatuated. He unconsciously sang the last two sentences: Poor grass by the stream, orioles singing in the trees. While he was meditating, suddenly, dark clouds were gathering, and in a blink of an eye, it began to rain in Mao Mao. Just in time for the high tide of the river, the late tide and spring rain made the water more urgent. This is a ferry crossing in the countryside, with few pedestrians and no one coming and going for a while. Even the boatman who rowed the boat disappeared, and only the empty ferry floated by the ferry. Wei saw this scene and had to write the following two sentences sadly: the spring tide came late and the rain came, and no one crossed the boat in the wild.
There is such a short story in Xixi, Chuzhou, so when Wei Yi returned home, he began to write this poem:
Alone, pitied by grass and streams,
There is an oriole singing in the tree.
The rain brought by the spring tide comes late and urgently,
Wild crossing, no boat crossing.
