Li Shutong's "Farewell"
On the side of the ancient road of Shili Pavilion in the suburbs, there are delightful green flowers and plants, which extend to the horizon. The evening breeze blows over the willow tips, the flute sounds intermittently, and the sunset falls slowly outside the mountains.
most of my intimate friends have disappeared, wandering all over the world. Just through a pot of coarse wine, take advantage of this short gathering tonight and drink the rest of the joy. The dream of farewell tonight must be very cold.
On the side of the ancient road of Shili Pavilion in the suburbs, there are delightful green flowers and plants, which extend to the horizon. When will you come back after you leave here? Please don't hesitate to come back!
most of my intimate friends have disappeared, wandering all over the world. The most rare thing in life is to be together, but there are many parting times!
"Original"
Outside the pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is blue and the sky is blue. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountains.
the horizon of the sky is the corner of the earth, and the intimate friends are half scattered. A pot of turbid wine will make you happy, so don't go to Meng Han tonight.

Appreciation of the whole poem
Farewell is divided into two parts. In the former part, the author depicts a scene about to leave from different levels and aspects. As a third person, to tell that friends are going on a long journey, and as close friends, the two will go their separate ways, so they sent a long way to the outside of the pavilion. In ancient times, the pavilion was usually a plank road, which was used for travelers to have a rest or to see friends off. The pavilion also implied that the two people had to part, and the ancient road was lonely and the grass was endless, showing a lonely scene, marking the farewell from different angles.
in the first part, Li Shutong used the artistic creation method of lyricism by borrowing scenery, which made his creation full of lyricism and high musicality and artistry. At this time, his works can be said to be full of the initial characteristics of artistic songs. Writing techniques such as the first part of Farewell make people feel relaxed and happy from the heart. Being on the calm river, they feel the misty mist of the morning light. The sound travels very far, and gives people a smooth, coherent and extended feeling, which is in line with the aesthetic feeling of the whole music. It is clearly expressed by the author's highly summarized music thoughts, which shapes the melody lines of the whole piece, shows the nuances of the piece, emphasizes some elements of the piece, and endows it with new artistic conception.
The second part is separated from the scenery, which more describes the inner feelings of the hero when he leaves. It's hard to find a bosom friend. At this moment, we can only offer a pot of turbid wine to bid farewell, which includes the complex emotions of the protagonist. After that, the rhythm and intensity have gradually changed, and the characters' inner excitement and contradictions have intensified. "A pot of turbid wine is a pity to be separated, but we should still cherish the days together. Instead of worrying about the loneliness in the future, we should have a good time drinking and drinking, so why bother this beautiful memory?
