Recalling Yangzhou Translation

Recalling Yangzhou [Tang Dynasty], Xu Niang is sallow and emaciated, but tears are hard to overcome, and peach leaves are easy to grieve. The glory of the land is three points, lovely Yangzhou, and you actually accounted for two points.

The girl's beautiful face can't hide the tears of acacia's parting, and a little sadness hanging on the peach leaf eyebrow is easy to be noticed. There are three points in the brilliance of the bright moon on earth. Lovely Yangzhou, you actually scored two points.

Note Yangzhou: Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province today. Xiao Niang: Since the Southern Dynasties, the woman a man loves in poetry is often called Xiao Niang, and the man a woman loves is often called Xiao Lang. Face-lifting: easy to be shy, here to describe the beauty of women. Victory: I can bear it. Peach Leaf: In Jin Dynasty, there was a concubine named Peach Leaf, who loved her deeply and pretended to be a "Peach Leaf Song" (contained in Ancient and Modern Music Record by monk Chen and wise craftsman in Southern Dynasties). Later, it was often used as an allusion to geisha. Here, it refers to the name of the girl or beauty you miss. Feeling: perception. There are three points in the world: The Analects of Confucius says that there are two points in the world.

I appreciate this poem very much, but the title is unclear, and it is nostalgic, recalling the special feelings of that day with endless hatred. The poet wrote the bright moon in Yangzhou and decorated Yangzhou with the "bright moon" of "hooligans", which coincided with the title and made the poem produce amazing artistic effects.

"Little Niang's face is thin and difficult to overcome tears, and peach leaves are easy to grieve." He wrote the parting scene of that day. The so-called "brief encounter", "little girl" and "peach leaf" all refer to what they think; "Frowning" and "tearful eyes" seem to be repetitive, but using a word "difficult" and a word "easy" to express them not only does not appear cumbersome, but has the feeling of repeated lingering and infinite nostalgia. The sadness of that day, the tears of that day, and the painful mood of that day all caused endless thoughts after leaving.
