Say goodbye to the ancient grassland
Bai Juyi [Tang Dynasty]
The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.
Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.
Weeds and wild flowers are all over the ancient road, and the end of the grass in the sun is your journey.
I once again sent my bosom friend, and the thick grass represented my deep affection.
translate
The Yuan Ye is covered with lush grass, which turns yellow in autumn and winter every year and thickens in spring.
Wildfire can't burn all the weeds on the ground. When the spring breeze blows, the earth turns green.
The fragrant weeds in the distance are covered with ancient roads, and Greentown is even deserted under the sunshine.
Today, I have come to bid farewell to my old friend. Even the lush grass is full of feelings of parting.

Make an appreciative comment
This poem expresses farewell to friends through the description of weeds in the ancient plain. It can be seen as an ode to weeds, and then an ode to life. The whole poem is rigorous in composition, natural and fluent in language, neat in antithesis, lyrical in scenery and harmonious in artistic conception. The original grass of Tuofu may refer to something, but its metaphorical meaning is not necessarily. "Wildfire didn't completely burn them, but they grew taller in the spring breeze." However, as a kind of "tenacity", it is well known and passed down through the ages.
The first sentence of the poem, "the vast grass crosses the plain", closely follows the title "ancient grass" and describes the lush spring grass with the overlapping word "Li Li". The second sentence "Come and go with the four seasons", and then write the law that weeds in the original world wither in autumn and flourish in spring, and the years are endless.
The third sentence and the fourth sentence, "Wildfire didn't completely burn them, but they grew taller in the spring breeze", one wrote "withered" and the other wrote "glorious", all of which showed the meaning of "withered and glorious". No matter how ruthless the fire is, as long as the spring breeze blows, green weeds are everywhere, vividly demonstrating the tenacious vitality of weeds. The fifth and sixth sentences "Incense them to the old high road and reach the crumbling city gate" describe the spread of spring grass and the vast green fields with "invasion" and "connection", and "ancient road" and "desolate city" point out the places that friends are about to experience. The last two sentences, "My friend's prince, you left again, and I heard them sigh behind you", pointed out the original intention of farewell. The metaphor of endless lush spring grass is filled with vilen's feelings of farewell, with a blend of scenes and endless charm. These two sentences not only describe the character of "grass on the original", but also describe an ideal model of regeneration from fire. One sentence is dry, the other is glory, and how "Endless Burning" and "Blowing Again" sing and sigh, the confrontation is also natural, so it is outstanding through the ages. Although Liu's sentences are similar in meaning, they lack charm and are far less than white sentences.
