Look at Taohuatan. Even though thousands of feet is deep, how can I be as grateful as Wang Lun?
A gift for Wang Lun.
Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Li Bai was just about to leave when he heard a farewell song from the shore.
Even if the Peach Blossom Pond is deep, it is not as deep as Wang Lun's sending away my love.
To Wang Lun is a famous poem by Li Bai describing friendship. The author thanked Wang Lun for his affectionate message. Saying goodbye with the metaphor of "deep thousands of feet" is vivid, and the word "less than" is added, which enhances the moving power of the poem. This poem with obvious folk flavor is natural, simple, fresh and smooth. The poet used the ordinary scenery in front of him as a metaphor to write his sincere feelings for his friends.
The last sentence of the poem, "Kicking and Tapping Song", is a popular folk song and dance form in the Tang Dynasty. When singing, you can beat the time with your feet and sing while walking. China's traditional ideas are implicit. Yan Yu, a poetic theorist in the Song Dynasty, put forward four taboos in writing poetry: "The language should be straight and the meaning should be shallow. Avoid dew in the pulse, and the taste is short. But To Wang Lun begins with the poet calling his own name and ends with calling the other person's name. On the contrary, he is honest, kind, free and easy, and very affectionate.
