Later trip to Ezhou
Lulun
Yunkai looked far ahead at Hanyang City, and it was like a lonely sail.
The trader sleeps during the day and knows the waves are calm, while the boatman talks at night and feels the tide rising.
Sanxiang is worried about the autumn colors on the temples, and facing the bright moon when returning from thousands of miles away.
The old business has been exhausted with the battle, and it is even more worthy of the sound of drums and whistles on the river.
This is a song that expresses feelings on the spot. The first couplet describes the poet's mood during his "late visit to Ezhou". The thick clouds dispersed, and the sky over the river was clear. Looking into the distance, Hanyang City was vaguely visible. Because it was "far", it was still out of reach. It would take a day for the boat to travel. In this way, we have to anchor in Ezhou tonight. The poet went up the Yangtze River from Jiangxi and had to pass through Ezhou (the administrative seat of today's Wuchang, Wuhan City, Hubei Province) to Hunan. Hanyang City is located on the north bank of Han River, west of Ezhou. The first sentence points to the topic, describing the joy of the mood, and the second sentence suddenly changes to reveal the gloomy mood. The pen moves ups and downs, making the plain sentences reflect subtle thoughts. The poet was wandering in the war and was tired of the traveling life. He wished he could find a resting place as soon as possible. Therefore, when the clouds clear and the fog clears, how can you not be happy when you see Hanyang City? The word "Yu Shi" highlights the poet's sudden emotional decline. These two sentences seem to be ordinary narratives, but they seem to make people hear the poet strumming the sad and lingering strings of the piano, confiding his lonely and depressed heart.
