Zhuan Xu describes the poet's exile in Shu. "All plants and trees are decaying" comes from Song Yu's Nine Arguments. Here refers to the ups and downs of vegetation, inheriting the "five or six years" of the previous sentence, suggesting that it has been in Shu for many years, and at the same time echoing the "old" of the next sentence, which is darker than itself. When the poet came to Chengdu, thanks to the help of relatives and friends, he lived a relatively stable life in the thatched cottage, but he never forgot his homesickness and love for his loved ones. Because of the "military blockade", he could not return to his hometown and had to live on the edge of Jinjiang. The word "old" on the "old riverside" is sad and gloomy and inexhaustible.
To appreciate this poem, one should pay attention to the expressive effect of refined words, and the other should pay attention to the implicit implication of expression, which contains feelings in the description and narration of images. On the one hand, the words "farewell" and "long drive" in the first couplet and "decline" and "old" in the couplet show the arrogance of the rebels, on the other hand, they also show the poet's helplessness, sadness and haggard experience in the Anshi Rebellion. By describing the life details of "sleepless at night, worrying but not normal" (detailed notes in Du Shaoling Collection), the Neck Couplet expresses the deep feelings of homesickness and missing my brother in a tortuous way. The words "homesickness" and "missing my brother" in these two sentences are intertextual, which euphemistically and tortuous express the infinite feelings of missing my loved ones and highlight the "hate farewell" in the title. Commenting on this couplet, Shen Deqian said: "If we talk about how to think and how to remember, things will be easy. Both Step on the Moon and Look at the Clouds are wonderful. "This means that it is not an abstract sentiment, but through concrete and vivid images, let readers realize the sadness contained in the image itself. The technique is ingenious and poetic.
