Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists should stay in Jiangnan until they are old. The spring water is greener than the sky, and tourists can sleep on the boat listening to the rain.
The women selling wine in Jiangnan restaurant are all very beautiful, and their arms exposed when selling wine are as white as snow. Don't go home when the light is not fading. It must be extremely sad to go home.
The translation is as follows:
Everyone says Jiangnan is good, and tourists here just want to die in Jiangnan. In spring, the river is clear and green, better than the blue sky. You can also fall asleep listening to the rain on the painted boat.
The woman selling wine in Jiangnan restaurant is very beautiful, and her arms are as white as snow when holding wine sleeves. Don't go back to your hometown when you are young, you will be heartbroken when you get home.
Precautions are as follows:
Wanderers only join the old in Jiangnan: here refers to people wandering in Jiangnan, that is, the author claims to be himself. Only: only. Jiangnan is good: the first sentence of Bai Juyi's "Recalling Jiangnan" is "Jiangnan is good". Blue in the sky: a piece of green is better than the sky.
Extended data:
This poem is the second of the Five Bodhisattvas and a response to the first. Doesn't the hero want to go home? However, if you can't become famous yourself, how can you give up easily? "Everyone says Jiangnan is good. The guest is only old in Jiangnan. " How beautifully written! But this kind of beauty is not set off by the beauty of images, but by deep emotions, and is moved by deep emotions after rational infiltration.
The beauty of Jiangnan is the best in the world, but how can people who live here and escape from war have a sense of belonging? Therefore, these two sentences are gloomy. "Spring water is brighter than the sky" is the beauty of Jiangnan scenery, and the green water in Jiangnan is more beautiful than the blue sky. "The painting boat listens to the rain and sleeps" is the beauty of life in Jiangnan. Lying on the boat listening to the drizzle, this life is so leisurely compared with the war in the Central Plains.
The depression of the first two sentences and the emptiness of the last two sentences form an unspeakable artistic tension.
