The Original Text of Li Bai's Farewell to Friends and Its Translation

Green mountains are located on the north side of the city wall, and the sparkling water surrounds the east of the city.

Here we say goodbye to each other, and you, like losing your father, are floating in the wind and traveling far away.

Floating clouds are like wanderers, like wandering, and the sunset slowly goes down the mountain, which seems to be nostalgic.

With a wave of his hand, he will be separated from now on, and his friend on horseback will carry him on a long journey, blowing a long wind, as if reluctant to leave.

Castle Peak stretches across the north of the city, and the sparkling water surrounds the east of the city. Here we say goodbye to each other, and you are like a lonely tent floating in the wind, traveling thousands of miles. Floating clouds are as erratic as wanderers, and the sunset slowly goes down the mountain, which seems to be nostalgia. From then on, I waved and broke up. Ma Xiaoxiao, riding a horse that will take him on a long journey, seems unwilling to leave.

Li Bai's Farewell to Friends is a sentimental farewell, and the author expresses the meaning of farewell by describing the farewell environment and rendering the atmosphere. In the first couplet, "the mountains in the north are blue and the water in the east is white" explains the farewell place. The poet has sent his friends out of the city, but they are still together and unwilling to part. I see in the distance, green mountains span the northern part of the outer city, and sparkling water flows around the eastern part of the city. In these two sentences, "Qingshan" versus "Baishui" and "Northland" versus "Dongcheng", the first couplet is a beautiful antithetical sentence with a unique style; And "green" and "white" alternate with each other, and the colors are bright and beautiful. The word "horizontal" outlines the static posture of Qingshan, and the word "around" depicts the dynamics of Baishui, with accurate and vivid words. Poems and pens are freely written, depicting a vast and beautiful picture. I didn't see the word "farewell", but the end of my pen was clearly full of farewell feelings.
