Original text:
The green and lush Bagui are located in southern Hunan.
The river is a green belt, and the mountains are like jasper ribbons.
Many households lose green feathers, and each family grows yellow sweetness.
It is far better than ascending to immortality, and the flying luan is not false.
Translation: Bagui is located in southern Hunan, lush and green. The river there is like a green gauze belt, and the mountain is like a jasper hairpin. Most families pay for the feathers of the emerald birds and grow their own yellow stems. It is far better than climbing to immortality. No need to fly to die.

Creative background:
In the second year of Changqing reign of Mu Zong of the Tang Dynasty (822), Han Yu’s friend Yan Mo served as secretary supervisor to observe Gui Guan Before leaving Beijing to take office, Han Yu, then the minister of the Ministry of War, wrote this poem as a farewell poem.
Appreciation:
The first couplet of this poem is closely related to the name of Guilin, which is imagined because of the many osmanthus trees in the land: "The eight osmanthus trees are green and dense." The eight osmanthus trees form a forest. It's so relevant and novel. Bring out the charm of that exotic southern resort. "This place is in southern Hunan", on the surface it is just an objective description of the geographical location, saying that Guilin is south of the Xiang River.
The implication is: that remote place is so fascinating and inspiring. The following describes the beauty of the mountains, rivers and products.
The wonders of Guilin are the first wonders of Guilin’s landforms. As the limestone formations were cut by water, countless stone peaks were formed, with different shapes and spectacular views. The water of the Lijiang River is clear and winding, with "a green belt on the left side of the river and mountains like jasper bamboo". It writes the characteristics of Guilin's landscape in a very general way. This is a sentence that has been known for thousands of years.
However, some people do not agree with this. For example, Guo Moruo's "Occasionally Traveling to Yangshuo by Boat" says: "Luo Daiyu came back with a smile, how strange are the green mountains and green waters? In He Ruzi's "Later Jianzhou" , the mountains are undulating. Japan's Shigero Yoshikawa said in "Boats on the Li River": "Jasper is not suitable for dinosaurs, chickens, oxen, dragons and phoenixes" etc.
In fact, the mountains of Guilin. Although they are different, their independence is their unique characteristic. In Fan Chengda's words, "Guilin's thousand peaks are endless." They stood on the ground. Jade bamboo slips and Yao Mao stretch as far as the eye can see. They're weird, a lot of people are weird. They are truly the first in the world. "(Guihai Yu Hengzhi) And the clear and winding Lijiang River flows slowly, like a fairy's ribbon.
So these two sentences grasp the characteristics of the landscape form." Guilin's landscape is the best in the world ", in fact, Guilin is just the most beautiful scenery in the world, but its magnificence is not as strong as Mount Huashan and Mount Emei in Sichuan and Shaanxi. Guilin's landscape is more feminine. Han Yu used the metaphors of "Green Luo Belt" and "Jasper Bundle" These women's clothing or jewelry can be said to be wonderful.
"More families lose their green feathers, and more families develop their own yellow stems." These two sentences are about Guilin's special products. . Since the Tang Dynasty, kingfisher feathers have been a very precious ornament.
In addition, "Huang Qian" was also known as "Eunuch" without hesitation. "People". These two sentences are "家" and "家" respectively. They are synonymous compound words, meaning "home". For locals, this is a very common property, but for Beijingers Said, this is a new kind of property.
The above two couplets deliberately write down the main beauty and wonders of Guilin, brewing enough yearning, although the last couplet boils down to the meaning of farewell. He didn't take the Luan plane to Guilin, but he was "much better than Dengxian". This is the correct meaning of the theme.
Chinese poetry is generally heroic and profound. Uniqueness, but there are two styles. One is known for its uniqueness, the other for its consistency. This poem belongs to the latter category. The landscape is written only in a large place, not in sculpture. Clear from the beginning, and from the text.
