li po
Li Bai was just about to leave when he heard a farewell song from the shore.
Even if the Peach Blossom Pond is deep, it is not as deep as Wang Lun's sending away my love.
Precautions:
The poet compared Wang Lun's friendship to a thousand feet in a deep pool, and wrote deep affection and friendship with exaggerated methods (thousands of feet are not true), which was very touching. This poem embodies the poetic feature that the romantic poet Li Bai wants to fall from the sky.
[1] Wang Lun: Residents near Taohuatan.
[2] Knocking on songs: while singing, beat with your feet.
[3] Taohuatan: In Jingxian County, Anhui Province today.
This is a farewell poem that has been told through the ages. Li Bai was about to leave Taohuatan by boat when his good friend Wang Lun came to see him off and sang deeply.
In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), Li Bai visited Taohuatan from Qiupu (now Guichi, Anhui Province) to Jingxian County (now Anhui Province), where Wang Lun often brewed his own wine to entertain him. When he left, Wang Lun came to see me off again, and Li Bai wrote this poem to leave.
The first half of the poem is narrative: first write about the people who are leaving, and then write about the people who are seeing them off, showing a picture of parting. The first sentence "by boat" means waterway; "I'm leaving" means when the canoe is ready to go. This sentence makes us seem to say goodbye to the people on a ship that is about to leave the sea.
Who is the man who saw me off? But the second sentence is not as direct as the first sentence, but with a curved pen, just saying that I heard singing. A group of villagers walked and sang to the beat to see me off. This seems to be beyond Li Bai's expectation, so he said "suddenly smell" instead of "far smell". Although this poem is more subtle, I only hear its voice, but people who have not seen it are already coming out.
The second half of this poem is lyrical. The third sentence is connected from a distance, which further shows that the ship is placed in Taohuatan. "Deep thousands of feet" not only describes the characteristics of the pool, but also indicates the conclusion.
"Peach Blossom Pond" is so profound that it touches people's feelings. Unforgettable Wang Lun's deep affection and deep affection are naturally linked. At the end of the sentence, "not as good as Wang Lun's" broke out. By comparing things, it vividly expressed sincere and pure affection. The pool is as deep as thousands of feet, so how deep is the friendship between Wang Lun and Li Bai? Interesting. Shenqing Deqian appreciates this sentence very much. He said, "It is a common saying to compare Wang Lun's feelings with those of thousands of feet. Wonderland is just a transition. Obviously, the beauty lies in the word "less than", and the beauty lies in replacing metaphor with metaphor, turning intangible friendship into a vivid image, ethereal and memorable, natural and true.
This poem is deeply appreciated by later generations, and "Peach Blossom Pond" has become a common expression for later generations to express their feelings. Because of this poem, there are many beautiful legends and relics in Taohuatan area for tourists to visit, such as Tage Bank Pavilion engraved with the words "Tage Ancient Bank" on the east coast, Diaoyutai under the rainbow stone wall on the west coast and so on.
