Creation background
This song "A Gift from the River to Li Guinian" can be regarded as a work in memory of friends. According to records, this poem was written by Li Guinian when he lived in the south of the Yangtze River during the Anshi Rebellion in the last years of Tianbao, which proves that this poem was written during the Tianbao period.
This poem is about acacia, but the whole article can't be separated from red beans, and the name of acacia is being used to associate acacia. The first sentence is about the origin of red beans; The second sentence asks "how many branches to send", which is very simple and vivid. If you ask nature, it will make you feel funny.
Three sentences are "more choices" for friends. The words are here and the meaning is there; The last paragraph clearly shows its acacia nature. If you push it to the extreme with the word "most", then the reason for "picking more" is self-evident, and its meaning is also deeply contained. The whole poem is lively, but euphemistic and implicit, and shallow and affectionate. According to legend, he composed and sang for people at that time, which was popular in Jiangnan.
