Original text:
The river is surrounded by Xiangyang city, and spring blossoms.
On the riverbank, I remembered my meeting with that beautiful woman and couldn't help crying at the blue sky and white clouds.
This is a sentimental spring breeze, and now it seems heartless, blowing my dream away.
The dream's eyes disappeared, and it was impossible to send her a message because of the distance.

The Hanshui River goes around Xiangyang City, and the spring blossoms on the levee.
Remembering the day when I met a beautiful woman on the levee, I couldn't help looking at the blue sky and white clouds and bursting into tears.
This is an affectionate spring breeze, but now it seems heartless and blows away my good dream.
The person in my dream has disappeared. I want to send her a message, but I can't reach it because of eternity.

Creation background
The levee outside Xiangyang City is more than 40 miles in circumference. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the business around the levee was prosperous and had a large population. Emperor Liang Jianwen wrote ten songs in Yongzhou, such as Dike, South Lake and Zhu Bei, and their origins are here.
This poem was written by Li Bai in the 20th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (732). At that time, Li Bai left Anlu (now Hubei) and went north to Xiangyang (now Hubei). This poem was conceived by Li Bai when he visited Xiangyang.

Make an appreciative comment
The poem begins with the levee. The levee faces the Han River in the east. In spring, flowers bloom on the embankment and green water dissolves under the embankment. A word "warm" covers rivers, flowers and thousands of households along the river bank. Naturally, there is also Li Bai who has walked all the way through famous mountains and rivers. Here, "the river returns to the green water, and the flower moon fans" (the first part of Li Bai's "Four Songs of Xiangyang"); "Water green sand like snow" (3). Touching the spring can't help stirring people's hearts. Therefore, the word "warm" has a heavy emotional component. So he naturally turned to the following lyrics: "Under the ritual embankment, tears filled Yunnan." In ancient times, "ceremony" refers to dating between men and women. "Nine Songs, Mrs. Xiang": "I look forward to it and enjoy it." Wang Yi's note: "Good, that is, Mrs. Xiang." I can't see it, so "tears are full of Yunnan." Jin's "Love Home" says: "Guide the clouds to sincerely send tributes and look back at the breeze." Chen Jiang's "Return to Chang 'an, Yangzhou, Go to Weishan Pavilion on September 9" says: "The heart is driven by the South Cloud and follows the North Wild Goose." Lu Yun's "Nine Sorrow": "When you get up, the south clouds are sad, and the east rain is weeping. "Nanyun, Guifeng and Dongyu were originally happy works, and later generations extended them to homesickness and homesickness. It seems that the poems of predecessors are used here. But there can be another explanation. This poem is different from the first three sentences of Li Bai's Twelve Farewells. The poem says: "I remember that Wushan is far away from the sun, and the flowers are bright and green and warm the river." I hesitated, tears filled the clouds in the south, and the spring breeze blew away my dreams mercilessly. If you can't see the person in your eyes, you will be broken. "The person who writes what he thinks is in Wushan, and Wushan is in the south of Xiangyang, so the cloud is" Nanyun ". Li Bai has been to Hubei twice, and the person who is far away may be himself. But it can also be regarded as a general term. In the old days, Xiangyang was not only a commercial town, but also a major traffic artery between the north and the south. There were many people coming in and out, and many people were sent to meet them. Li He's "Diqu" said: "The wind rises like a lotus, the river is spring, and people stay in the north on the embankment." "Don't refer to Xiangyang Road, Qingpu. "So, Li Bai is not the only one who is homesick.
Looking at Nanyun, tears filled my eyes. The "ceremony" was wrong, and the result was just to send my feelings into my dream. But "the spring breeze is ruthless, blowing out my dream." From the dream of "sleeping with one pillow, traveling in the south of Wan Li" ("Dream of Spring") to Zhang's dream of "curling up on the edge of the city, green and unripe mulberry". I forgot to pick the leaves in the cage, but I dreamed of fishing in Yang last night (Spring Boudoir Thinking). Meeting in a dream really gives people infinite comfort. Now, because the spring breeze is ruthless, it blows through dark dreams, making it impossible for people to meet in their dreams. "Midnight Haruka" Ancient Yuefu: "The spring breeze is affectionate and blows me away". Contrary to the meaning of these two sentences, it has some influence on the choice of words and sentences "Scattering" is a "break". Disconnect, disconnect, disconnect. Du Fu's Mourning for the Sun King: "The golden whip broke nine horses and died. "Give a person an image of an abrupt end. Scattering means gradually dispersing and drifting away. " Blow "and" scatter ",and then the dream faded away in my mind bit by bit, and finally disappeared without a trace. "Dreams" are for people to see, and so are the facts. Spring breeze, since I dare not know you, why should I separate the silk curtain beside my bed? ? (Li Bai's "Spring Thoughts") slightly condemned. It is said here that "the spring breeze is ruthless", and those who "recover" are also. "Ruthlessness" is embarrassing, not to mention its "recovery"! There is no resentment on the surface, but the actual resentment is particularly deep. The word "fu" closely echoes the word "tears", and the next sentence ends: "If you don't see that person in your eyes, you will never hear from him." "People in the eyes" refers to people who think. The ceremony was wrong, the dream dispersed, and the news broke. This series of blows, isn't it sad! This situation, in many poets' works, will be described as "cold and desolate, terrible." And Li Bai's "graceful and gentle" (Zhu Ci), with a clear mind and beautiful bones, is precisely "quiet beauty" ("Poetry of Tang and Song Dynasties").
This little poem seems straightforward, but the pen is actually tortuous: there is a place first, and then there is a season, which secretly spreads people's feelings about spring from the word "warm". The next six sentences, until the last one, are full of emotion. A "gift" seems to see a guest standing on an embankment far from home, looking at the clouds in the southern sky, and his soul is betrayed. When the phrase "spring breeze" came back, the scene seemed to be "I had a clear dream on my pillow in the middle of last night". Maybe "Low Frequency Peach Blossom Face" (Wei Zhuang)? The poet didn't say that beauty lies in its ability to arouse readers' speculation. Meaning is meaningful. Finally, I ended with "The Sound of Eternity Broken", which made me feel memorable. Chutian has a vast territory, flowers are in full bloom, birds are noisy, geese are singing in the clear sky, but people's moods are different. At this moment, those "broken" people have heard from each other; And love is not only uninterrupted, but also endless. Even from this short chapter, Li Bai, a talented hermit, can see that he is deeply emotional, beautiful and elegant, completely surpassing the "track" of Yuefu in the Six Dynasties, thus making "the style of ancient and modern poetry greatly changed" (Hu Yinglin's poems).
