It is a seven-character quatrain written by Wang Anshi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. The whole poem is lyrical both in scenery and narrative, with an open realm and fresh style.
The original text is as follows:
Jingkou and Guazhou are just separated by a water, and Zhongshan has only a few heavy green mountains.
The gentle spring breeze turns green again, but, moon in the sky, when can you take me home?
The translation is as follows:
There is only one Yangtze River between Jingkou and Guazhou, and Zhongshan is hidden behind several mountains.
The warm spring breeze blew the south bank of the river green again. When will the bright moon shine on me and return to my home in Zhongshan?
Extended data:
The first sentence "Guazhou in Jingkou is a water room" describes the scenery in front of us. The poet stood at Guazhou Ferry and looked south. He saw that Jingkou and Guazhou on the south bank were so close, separated by a river. The word "one water sword" describes the rapid and instantaneous arrival of a ship.
In the second sentence, "Zhongshan is only separated from Chung Shan Man", he wrote a review of Zhongshan with nostalgia. Wang Anshi settled in Jiangning with his father Wang Yi in the fourth year of Jing You (1037), and Jiangning has since become his resting place. After the first strike, he lived in Zhongshan, Jiangning
The word "only separated" is very close to Zhongshan. The interval of "Chung Shan Man Dao" is so common that it reflects the deep attachment of poetry to Zhongshan; In fact, after all, Zhongshan was blocked by "Chung Shan Man", so the poet turned his attention to the riverbank.
The third sentence, "Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan", depicts the beautiful spring scenery along the river bank and places the poet's mighty feelings.
Summarize "When will the bright moon shine on me?" In terms of time, it is already night. The poet looked back for a long time, unaware that the red sun was setting in the west and the bright moon was rising. Although the scenery on the other side disappeared in the dim moonlight, the attachment to Zhongshan deepened. He believed that he would jump into the old forest one day, so he expressed this idea in a rhetorical way at last.
The description of the scenery at the beginning of the poem is not only a metaphor, but also an exaggeration, which forms a strong contrast between the proximity of space and the length of time, which almost leads to the emotional generation of "when the moon shines on me" at the end, which is likely to be broken at first.
