Seeing my brother off is a five-character quatrain written by a seven-year-old girl in Tang Dynasty.
The whole poem is as follows:
At the beginning of the road, the leaves in the pavilion were very thin.
Unlike geese, people don't travel.
Translation: Brother! This is the way for us to break up. Clouds are flying around, and there is a pavilion on the roadside for people to rest and say goodbye. Outside the pavilion, autumn leaves fall. And my saddest sigh is, why can't people be like geese in the sky? Geese's brothers and sisters always line up neatly and fly home together.
Extended data
The first two sentences of the poem express feelings with parting scenes. The clouds seen on the way to parting symbolize that my brother is wandering around the world, and the branches far away from the pavilions symbolize that my brother is leaving his relatives and hometown.
The last two sentences are lyrical and empathetic. The poet laments that people are not as good as geese, and geese can still get close to each other and go to the same destination, but life is always leaving, which makes people feel sad and sigh, showing their anxiety and loss of leaving their loved ones. The language of this poem is natural and simple, and the emotion is implicit, deep and sincere, which is very tasty.
Creation background
Little is known about this poem, only in the whole Tang poetry. The author introduced her as a "woman in a boudoir", but her real name, date of birth, date and place can't be verified, so she can only annotate all the Tang poems.
"All Poems of the Tang Dynasty" wrote: "The woman who came", "Wu Hou summoned and asked Fu to send a poem to his brother, and he agreed." From this, it can be roughly inferred that the poet is from Nanhai, and this poem comes from the era of Wu Zetian in Tang Dynasty.
