Don’t think that Yichun’s Journey to the Far Rivers and Mountains came from the autumn character written by Han Yu, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Appreciation of ancient poems:
The first couplet is the opening title, which mainly writes about the sadness of autumn when trees fall. In ancient Chinese, although "sad" and "sad" are synonymous, "sad" is emotionally deeper than "sad". The chin couplet inherits the meaning of the first couplet and goes a step further: "ji" means fetters, and when connected with "ji eunuch", it means that when someone is released from the capital and becomes an official, he is often under surveillance and the official body is not free.
The neck couplet turns to reviewing friendships and describing today's sadness. The allusion used in this couplet is naturally appropriate. When reading, you will not realize that you are using an allusion, but that it comes from Feifan's words. And this feeling of "if you can't share the joys, then you can share the sorrows" reflects the care between friends.
The last couplet boils down to the purpose of saying goodbye. It advises friends to think openly and maintain an optimistic and cheerful mood. The implication is: Never think about temporary honor or disgrace, take good care of your body and maintain a cheerful attitude. Heartfelt.
Translation of the whole poem:
The King of Huainan once lamented the fall of autumn and the falling vegetation, but now I see autumn coming and feel sad alone. It is already unbearable pain to say goodbye to old friends, not to mention the worries of being in charge of one's official duties.
I originally hoped to share the happiness of glory and splendor, but now we have become people on different paths. I am willing to share the hardships with the gentleman. Don't think that Yichun, which belongs to Jiangnan West Road, is too far from the capital. The mountains and rivers there are picturesque and the scenery is pleasant. I hope you can enjoy it there.
