Farewell, Li Shutong, what does this poem mean?

It means: beside the ancient road outside the pavilion, the grass on the ground extends to the horizon. The evening breeze blows through the willow tips, the flute sounds intermittently, and the sunset is outside the mountain. Good friends are mostly wandering around. I picked up the hip flask and gulped it down, hoping to maximize the rest of my happiness, but (the pain of separation) made all my dreams miserable tonight.

Original lyrics:

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. The evening breeze blows the flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountain.

The horizon, the horizon, intimate friends are half scattered. A pot of turbid wine is enough, so don't go to Meng Han tonight.

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue. The evening breeze blows the flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountain.

Love is inextricably linked, a glass of wine, sound away from the flute. When will you come here? Don't hesitate to come.

The grass is blue and the water is green. What about Nanpu's injury? Life is once in a blue moon, only parting.

Love is inextricably linked, a glass of wine, sound away from the flute. When will you come here? Don't hesitate to come.

Introduction to the work:

Li Shutong wrote many musical works before he became a monk. Among his songs, Farewell is the most influential one. He is also a famous calligrapher. He pushed the ancient calligraphy art of China to the extreme. Modern cultural celebrities such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo all regard it as an honor to get the words of a master.

Whether he is called Li Shutong or Master Hongyi, he is a very traditional person. Although he has studied abroad and has a deep understanding of western literature and art, his most essential thing is tradition, so he will become a master of Buddhist legalism.

Farewell came out and swept the country, and it has been sung for nearly a hundred years. During the Republic of China, I used to be a must-sing song for primary school students. The movie Old Things in the South of the City takes this song as the theme song and runs through the whole play. When I was a child, I watched the old things in the south of the city. I couldn't feel the unspeakable sadness of parting in my young mind, because I never left anyone. Now that I think about it, I am often sad and always think that I can move on.
