Berthing Guazhou
Jingkou and Guazhou are just separated by a water, and Zhongshan has only a few heavy green mountains.
Jiang Nanan spring breeze is green, when will the bright moon shine on me?
Translation:
Standing at Guazhou Ferry, looking south, there is only one Yangtze River between Jingkou and Guazhou, and Zhongshan, where I live, is hidden behind several mountains.
The warm spring breeze once again blew the fields in the south of the Yangtze River green. When will the bright moon shine on me and return to my home at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain?

Jingkou: the name of the ancient city, so the address is in Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province.

Zhongshan: Purple Mountain in Nanjing today.
Green: blow green, blow green.
And: back.
Appreciate:
The whole poem is entitled "Boating in Guazhou", which points out the poet's foothold.
The first sentence "Guazhou in Jingkou is a water room" describes the scenery in front of us. The poet stood at Guazhou Ferry and looked south. He saw that Jingkou and Guazhou on the south bank were so close, separated by a river. The word "one water sword" describes the rapid and instantaneous arrival of a ship.
The second sentence, "Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains", wrote his review of Zhongshan with nostalgia. Wang Anshi settled in Jiangning with his father Wang Yi in the fourth year of Jing You (1037), and Jiangning has since become his resting place. After the first strike, he lived in Zhongshan, Jiangning The word "only separated" is very close to Zhongshan. It is very common to say that the interval between several mountain knives reflects the poet's deep attachment to Zhongshan. In fact, after all, Zhongshan was blocked by "several mountains", so the poet's sight turned to the river.
The third sentence, "Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan", depicts the beautiful spring scenery along the river bank and places the poet's mighty feelings. Among them, the word "green" is carefully selected and very expressive.
Summarize "When will the bright moon shine on me?" In terms of time, it is already night. The poet looked back for a long time, unaware that the red sun was setting in the west and the bright moon was rising. Although the scenery on the other side disappeared in the dim moonlight, the attachment to Zhongshan deepened. He believed that he would jump into the old forest one day, so he expressed this idea in a rhetorical way at last.
The description of the scenery at the beginning of the poem is not only a metaphor, but also an exaggeration, which forms a strong contrast between the proximity of space and the length of time, which almost leads to the emotional generation of "when the moon shines on me" at the end, which is likely to be broken at first.
