Song: A genre of ancient poetry, including short songs and long songs. 2 Two sentences "I didn't see you before": The author climbed up the ancient platform and looked out into the distance. He saw a vast expanse. He didn't see the ancient wise kings in front of him, and there were no wise men behind him who helped the country and helped the world and the people, so he sighed that it was hard to find a true friend. 3怆(chuanɡ)ran: sad look. Tie: tears.
Translation I can’t see the wise king who recruited talents in ancient times, nor can I see the British leader who helped the country to seek talents. Thinking of the infinity of the vast world, how could I not feel desolate and cry alone!
Appreciation In this short song, when the author looks up to the vast sky, facing time and space, he sings out his loneliness and anger that time is not with him and his ambitions are difficult to achieve. It is deafening and highly contagious. The whole poem is tragic, vigorous and generous, which brought a new atmosphere to the poetry world of the early Tang Dynasty and became a famous poem that has been recited throughout the history.
