Images in farewell poems

Send a friend away

Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

Green mountains are located on the north side of the city wall, and the sparkling water surrounds the east of the city.

Here we say goodbye to each other, and you, like losing your father, are floating in the wind and traveling far away.

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

With a wave of his hand, he will be separated from now on, and his friend on horseback will carry him on a long journey, blowing a long wind, as if reluctant to leave.

Castle Peak stretches across the north of the city, and the sparkling water surrounds the east of the city.

Here we say goodbye to each other, and you are like a lonely tent floating in the wind, traveling thousands of miles.

Floating clouds are as erratic as wanderers, and the sunset slowly goes down the mountain, which seems to be nostalgia.

He waved goodbye frequently and left, and the horse hissed to say goodbye.

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

In the first couplet, "the mountains in the north are blue and the water in the east is white" explains the farewell place. The poet has sent his friends out of the city, but they are still together and unwilling to part. I see in the distance, green mountains span the northern part of the outer city, and sparkling water flows around the eastern part of the city. In these two sentences, "Qingshan" versus "Baishui" and "Northland" versus "Dongcheng", the first couplet is a beautiful antithetical sentence with a unique style; And "green" and "white" alternate with each other, and the colors are bright and beautiful. The word "horizontal" outlines the static posture of Qingshan, and the word "around" depicts the dynamics of Baishui, with accurate and vivid words. Poems and pens are freely written, depicting a vast and beautiful picture. I didn't see the word "farewell", but the end of my pen was clearly full of farewell feelings.

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. Semantically, this couplet can be regarded as a conjunction, that is, the two couplets are semantically inherited. However, it is wrong, even wrong, simply from the correct point of view. It just embodies Li Bai's poetic style of "natural carving" and conforms to the view that the content of the ancients is not bound by form. The sentence "You must leave me here and drift away" in this couplet has a sudden change of meaning, which tears the poetic feeling of the couplet and has a tragic and touching power. The ancients often compared the wandering life with cornices, cornices and cornices, because both of them have a common feature, that is, let nature take its course and let other things flirt involuntarily. Therefore, the image of "phoenix" in this sentence is very heavy and unbearable, so "treasure" is incomparable. Taibai set Wang Qi's note cloud: "The floating clouds have gone without a trace, so it means drifting;" It's better to be human than not to leave the mountain at sunset. " These two poems express the poet's deep concern for his friends. They write fluently and naturally, and their feelings are sincere.

"I will think of you in the clouds, so I will think of me in the sunset." The neckband implies that the clouds are as erratic as a wanderer, and the sunset slowly goes down the mountain, which seems to be nostalgic.

The necklace is neatly written, and the poet skillfully compares the "floating clouds" with the "sunset" to show his heart. A white cloud floating in the sky symbolizes the uncertainty and arbitrariness of friends; A red sun slowly sets in the distance, which seems to be unbearable to leave the earth suddenly, which symbolizes the poet's mood of saying goodbye to his friends. It is especially difficult to say goodbye in the background of beautiful scenery and the sun shining in the west. There are both scenery and feelings here, and the scenes are mixed and colorful.

The two couplets in the middle are related to each other and write about the deep feelings of parting.

"We waved goodbye and my horse kept neighing." Tail-to-tail, that is to say, Ma Xiaoxiao, who wants to take him on a long journey, seems reluctant to leave.

The end of the sentence is more affectionate. A thousand miles to send you, not never say goodbye. "Waving" is the action of writing separation, so what is the inner feeling? The poet didn't say it directly, but wrote a moving scene of "and my horse is neighing again and again" This sentence comes from the Book of Songs, Car Attack and Sasha Vujacic A?vagho?a. Banma, a stray horse. The poet and his friends waved goodbye at once and greeted them frequently. Two horses seem to know their master's mood and are unwilling to leave their companions. When they left, they couldn't help whistling, as if they had infinite affection. With horses like this, how can people be inferior! Li Baihua used classical poetry to write the word "half", bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, and setting off romantic feelings, which can be described as ingenious.

Seeing a friend off is one of Li Bai's famous works. This farewell poem is novel and unconventional. The green hills, clear water, fiery sunset and white clouds in the poem set each other off, and the scenery has bright colors and feelings. The horse is ringing, and the image is fresh and lively. Natural beauty and humanistic beauty are intertwined and vividly written. The rhythm of the poem is lively, the feelings are sincere, warm and optimistic, and there is no lingering sadness. This is the characteristic of Li Bai's farewell poems, which the critics deeply appreciate.
