Full text of poetry
The homesick song of Xi Murong's hometown is a kind of flute in Qingyuan.
It always rings with the moon at night.
The face of my hometown is a vague disappointment.
Like waves in the fog, homesickness after parting is a tree without rings, never getting old and poetic.
Attachment to hometown can be said to be an unchanging and eternal emotion of human beings. Wanderers, drifters and vagrants who are far away from home hope to return to their roots even when they are very old.
Xi Murong summed up this homesickness with a short poem with seven lines and three sections: the first section writes that the local accent is fresh and lingering, and the flute "always rings on a moonlit night". Imagine that there are several nights without moonlight all year round, which vaguely means that travelers miss their hometown all the time. In the second section, he wrote about homesickness, and his nostalgia for his hometown drifted away, leaving only a vague disappointment. Thick as blood, but separated by a misty cloud, waving goodbye in the fog is a metaphor for vague and melancholy impression of hometown. It is a vivid and natural description of abstract subjective feelings, with considerable and tangible concrete images. The third layer describes the eternity of homesickness, which is the transition of the lingering homesickness of the first two layers, and the form is very novel. The gradual shift of levels makes the theme clear from vagueness. The poet used a tree without wheels.
