In the 11th year of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1746), Jiang Shiquan, 2 1 year-old, rushed home on the eve of the year-end to thank his mother for her concern, so he wrote the poem "Arriving Home at the End of the Year".
Arrive home at the end of the year (Qingjiang Shiquan)
I love my son endlessly, and I'm glad to go home.
A cold coat has a lot of needle and thread, but a letter from home has new ink.
When we meet, we are poor and thin, asking for bitterness.
I am ashamed of the son of man and dare not complain about the dust.
The poem "Going Home at the End of the Year" depicts the sincere and complicated feelings of mother and son when they meet after a long separation in simple language. The expression of words, as seen and heard, will make the wanderer happy to go home. "I love my son endlessly", although a few words are straightforward, has profound meaning. "My cold clothes are sewn with needles, but my letters from home are new", which shows my mother's great concern and love for herself. "I am grateful to meet you." The mother's meticulous care for her beloved son is so real, vivid and meaningful that all the wanderers burst into tears after reading it. The last two sentences, "shame on people, dare not sigh at the dust", are the writer's own mentality. "I think low" means twists and turns. Here, I write that I have gone out to make a living, and I am ashamed that my son did not do my duty to take care of my mother and comfort her. I dare not speak frankly about the suffering of the dust outside.
The whole poem is unpretentious, but it can arouse readers' admiration and aftertaste.
