Across the wall of Sanqin, across a layer of fog, across a river.
We said goodbye sadly, and our two officials went in opposite directions.
After all, the world is just a small place.
Why are you wandering at the fork in the road? The child is holding a towel.

About the author:
Wang Bo (649 ~ 676), a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Longmen, Jiangzhou (now Hejin, Shanxi). At the beginning of his career, Linde joined the army in Zhouguo. Later, he went to Hainan to visit his father and drowned and died of shock. He showed his talent when he was young, and he was as famous as Yang Jiong, Lu and Lu in words, and he was also called "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty".
Both he and Lu tried to change the poetic style of "striving for exquisiteness and carving" at that time (see Yang Jiong's Preface). His poems tend to describe personal life, and a few of his works express political feelings and cover up his dissatisfaction with powerful families. The style is fresh, but some poems are superficial. His prose "Preface to Wang Tengting" is quite famous. The original collection of books has been lost, and The Collection of Wang Zian was compiled in the Ming Dynasty.
