Farewell to the viceroy and go to Shu to take up his post.

Bo Wang

Across the wall of Sanqin, across a layer of fog, across a river.

We said goodbye sadly, and our two officials went in opposite directions.

However, as long as China keeps our friendship, heaven will remain our neighbor.

Why linger at the fork in the road, the child is stained with towels.

Precautions:

Du Shaofu: Wang Bo's friend, whose other name is unknown Shaofu County Commandant. Zhou Shu is called Shuchuan. The city gate refers to Chang 'an, the capital of Shaanxi Province. Sanqin: Shaanxi Guanzhong area, ancient Qin. After Qin was destroyed, Xiang Yu divided Qin into three countries: harmony, competition and flexion, which were called Sanqin. Wujin: Five major ferries of Minjiang River, namely Baihuajin.

Brief Analysis: This is a famous farewell poem by Wang Bo. It is very different from other farewell poems, full of sad feelings and enterprising spirit. The fifth and sixth sentences in the poem even sublimate friendship to a higher aesthetic realm. The whole poem is a typical work of five laws, with cadence, grandeur and rigor. This poem meets the requirements of the five laws from the perspective of leveling and rhyming, but it will reach the later standard in antithesis.

Author's Biography: (649-676), a native of Longmen, Jiangzhou (now Hejin, Shanxi), is as famous as Yang Jiong, Lu and Luo, and is known as the "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty". They strive to get rid of Qi's style, expand the theme of poetry, and show positive and enterprising spirit and depression. Wang Zian's collection.
