Wuyi Lane
Tang Liu Yuxi
There are weeds and flowers near Zhuque Bridge, and the sunset is setting at the entrance of Wuyi Lane.
In the old days, Wang thanked Tang Qian Yan and flew into the homes of ordinary people. Notes on Wuyi Lane
(1) Wuyi Lane: the street name of Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), which is located in the south of Qinhuai River and close to Zhuque Bridge. During the Three Kingdoms period, the State of Wu once set up a military camp here, which was the residence of the imperial army. Because the imperial guards were dressed in black uniforms at that time, there was a saying here that Wuyi Lane was called. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, two families, Wang Dao and Xie 'an, both lived in Wuyi Lane, and called their children "Wuyilang". After entering the Tang Dynasty, Wuyi Lane was reduced to ruins.
(2) Zhuque Bridge: a bridge across Qinhuai River outside Zhuque Gate in the south of Jinling in the Six Dynasties, located in Qinhuai District of Nanjing.
(3) Xie Wang: Wang Dao, Xie An, Jin Xiang, a big family, with many talents, all lived in the alley, crowned with tassels, and were the giants of the Six Dynasties. In the old days, Wang Xie's family had many swallows. To the Tang dynasty, they all declined and did not know their place.
(4) normal: normal. Appreciation of Wuyi Lane
This poem pays tribute to the prosperity and prosperity of Zhuque Bridge on Qinhuai River and Wuyi Lane on the south bank of Nanjing in the past, but now it is overgrown with weeds and desolate, with feelings of vicissitudes of life. It is a common phenomenon that the author chooses the host family where swallows live, which is no longer the master of the old days, and makes people realize that it is difficult to maintain wealth and splendor, and those high-ranking officials and nobles who once had a good time have become a thing of the past.
There is not a comment in the whole poem, but through the description of weeds and sunset, taking swallows as the witness of ups and downs, skillfully connecting history with reality, guiding people to think about the development of the times and social changes, which contains profound implications. Although the language is extremely shallow, the taste is infinite.
