The Background of Li Bai's Seeing Friends Off

Appreciation of Li Bai's Farewell to Friends

To the north of the Great Wall is a blue mountain range, and to the east is a white waterline [1].

Here, you must leave me and drift away for hundreds of miles like loose grass.

Floating clouds are like wanderers, like wandering, and the sunset slowly goes down the mountain, which seems to be nostalgic.

We waved goodbye and my horse kept neighing.

This is an affectionate farewell poem. The author expresses the meaning of farewell by describing the farewell environment and rendering the atmosphere.

The first couplet points out the place of farewell. The poet and his friends came to the city side by side and looked up. There was a touch of green hills across the north of the city and a bay of clear water gurgled around the east of the city. This is a scene, but full of emotion. The distant castle peak is out of reach, which leads to a trace of dismay and reveals the poet's helplessness in leaving at present; The flowing water around the city seems to be a symbol of continuous separation and gurgling. This couplet "Qingshan", "Baishui", "Northland" and "Dongcheng" are arranged neatly, and "green" and "white" set each other off, and the whole painting is beautiful. The word "horizontal" is used to write the stillness of the castle peak, and the word "around" is used to write the movement of white water, which is also quite accurate.

The following two sentences are about love. The poet described his friend's wandering life with a lonely canopy, saying: If you leave here, you will float thousands of miles away like loose grass dancing with the wind. These two sentences express the poet's deep concern for his friends, and they are written smoothly and naturally, with sincere feelings.

The tie "I will think of you in the clouds, so think of me in the sunset" shows the broad background of parting: a white cloud is floating away on the horizon, and a red sun is slowly falling to the horizon. At this point, this scene makes people more sad and painful to leave. These two sentences "floating clouds" to "sunset" and "wandering" to "old human feelings" are also neat and to the point. Poets not only write landscapes, but also skillfully use "floating clouds" to compare friends. He is like a floating cloud on the horizon, with uncertain whereabouts and everything. Who knows where he will drift? Infinite concern for natural overflow. And the red sun in the west ended so slowly, and I was reluctant to throw the last light into the white water of Qingshan, as if reluctant to leave abruptly. And this is the symbol of the poet's mood at the moment!

Write the parting scene in the last two sentences. Poets and friends immediately waved goodbye and greeted frequently; The two horses seem to be connected with their master's heart and honk their horns from time to time. Although the poet didn't directly say his feelings of parting, the horse still couldn't bear the bitterness of parting and raised his mane and whined. What a shame!

This poem is written naturally and brightly, with warm feelings. The green mountains, clear water, fiery sunset and white clouds in the poem, together with Ma Changming at work, constitute a vivid picture, full of infinite warmth and touching feelings.
