Young people leave home, old people return, and the local accent has not changed.
When children meet strangers, they will smile and ask where the guests are from.
By contrast, this poem implicitly expresses the author's infinite feelings and gratification for his hometown after such a long separation.
The first two sentences of the poem are written by the author in a familiar and unfamiliar hometown. The antithesis of "the youngest leaves home, the biggest returns", "the youngest" and "the biggest" explains the time interval between "leaving" and "returning" in a very general and concrete way. It is conceivable that when the young man left home, he was heroic and spirited, and when he came home, he was senile, and it was needless to say that he was sad and happy. "The local accent has not changed, and the sideburns have declined", which implicitly shows the author's deep affection for his native land. "The decline of the temples" inherited the previous sentence and vividly wrote the state of the boss. "The Local accent has not changed" and "The sideburns have declined" are opposite, and they pour out their sighs about the sudden life and their deep affection for their hometown. Although Qianshan is separated from his hometown for half a century in space, his hometown still firmly maintains his feelings. "The decline of sideburns" is a sign of the passage of time, and "the local accent has not changed" is evidence of attachment to hometown. However, "I don't forget my hometown, can my hometown still recognize me?" -This implied guess paved the way for the last two sentences.
Three or four sentences are very vivid: "Where do tourists come from when children meet strangers?" In this scene full of life interest, the author has mixed feelings and it is difficult to explain them one by one. "Don't know" is expected; The question "Where do visitors come from" is unexpected, but it comes from the mouth of innocent and lively children, and it is a very natural question. The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and the author who has been away from home for a long time has heard it. What feelings can it cause? Is it the sadness of old age and physical decline, or the joy of reunion after a long separation and return to the root? I can't say, but they are all contained in this seemingly dull question. In this way, the whole poem has no answer, and it stops quietly, leaving only a sad aftertaste. This is really a typical implicit style.
None of the 28 words in the whole poem is uncommon, and there is no need for an allusion. Are household words. But it is not smooth, it contains feelings that can be chewed repeatedly, explored repeatedly, pursued layer by layer and supplemented layer by layer. Lu You said: "The article is natural, and it is wonderful." From He's poems, we can understand the meaning of the word "occasionally", which comes from life and from the bottom of my heart.

What is worth mentioning is the second quatrain in He's Hometown Lianshu: "I have been away from my hometown for many years, and I have been working for half my life recently. Only the mirror lake in front of the door, the spring breeze does not change the old waves. " It can be regarded as a sequel to the first four-character poem, which expresses the sadness of "things are different". It is fresh and natural, but compared with the first poem, it is too straightforward and too exposed. From two poems on the same subject by the same author, we can realize the truth that "poetry is precious and implicit"
