Meet sb. leave
Modern Li Shutong
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green, the evening wind blows the flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.
The horizon, the horizon, intimate friends are half scattered. A ladle of turbid wine makes me happy. Say goodbye to Meng Han tonight. Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. When will you return this? Don't hesitate to come.
The horizon, the horizon, intimate friends are half scattered. Life is once in a blue moon, only parting.

Most of my close friends have disappeared and wandered around the world. Just through a pot of coarse wine, take advantage of this short gathering tonight and drink the rest of the joy. The dream of farewell tonight must be very cold.

Introduction of works
Farewell is a word written by Li Shutong in modern times. The poem describes the farewell scenery of the long pavilion, and sets off a long and deep separation by the ancient road with long grass.
works appreciation
Although Farewell is a lyric, not a word in a strict sense, it can be regarded as a variation of words from the perspective that both songs and words are musical art forms. It has great influence on modern lyrics and songs. But also sung by most musicians, enduring, known as the most beautiful lyrics of the twentieth century.
To some extent, it announced the arrival of a new era.
The lyrics are concise in language, sincere in feelings and far-reaching in artistic conception. The melody is gentle and undulating, stretching and melodious, and pavilions, ancient roads, willow blowing, sunset and boundless grass appear in front of us. In the afterglow of the sunset, the mountains are continuous and the flute is sad. Full of colors, scenery and sounds under the sky, there is a feeling of sadness and desolation in the beautiful scene.
The first sentence of the second paragraph echoes the first paragraph, and the emotion turns into a deep sigh.
Looking back, half of my intimate friends have died, and today some friends are about to leave. I don't know when we will meet again. Waiting for him is "the ends of the earth", leaving "me" with a cold night dream and infinite sadness. Let's have a good time, * * * glad that friendship is still there, and friendship lasts forever!
Strangely, this song, which is calm, soothing and tender, perfectly combines music and rhetoric, but conveys the "moral" of life He Huan and the impermanence of all things. It is not difficult to understand that Master Hongyi is good at expressing Buddhism in a secular way, which is the most precious cultural heritage he left us.
