No Wang Lun poems have been handed down today, but there are several poems related to Wang Lun. The most famous one is "A Gift to Wang Lun" by Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Poetry: Li Bai was about to travel in a boat, when he suddenly heard people singing on the shore. The water in Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, and it is not as deep as Wang Lun's love for me.
Translation: Li Bai was about to leave in a boat when he suddenly heard the sound of singing from the shore. Even if the water in Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, it can't compare with Wang Lun's sentiments for sending me off.
Poetry: When Li Bai visited Peach Blossom Pond in Jing County, he often stayed at the home of villager Wang Lun. Wang Lun entertained the guests with fine wine. Before leaving, Wang Lun came to see him off, so Li Bai wrote this poem to say goodbye. This poem with obvious folk song flavor is natural, simple, fresh and smooth. The poet used the ordinary scenery in front of him as a metaphor to express Li Bai's deep affection for Wang Lun, an ordinary villager.
Appreciation of "Gift to Wang Lun":
The two lines of the poem describe the scene of farewell. "Li Bai is about to leave Peach Blossom Pond by boat" means that the poet is about to leave Peach Blossom Pond by boat. That kind of language flows out smoothly without thinking, showing a cool and unrestrained attitude of coming in for fun and returning after all.
The words "suddenly heard singing on the shore" and "suddenly heard" indicate that Wang Lun's arrival was indeed unexpected. He heard the voice before anyone arrived. From the warm and hearty singing, Li Bai guessed that it must be Wang Lun who came to see him off. This kind of farewell shows that Li Bai and Wang Lun, two friends, are both informal, happy and free people.
"The water in Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun's sending me love." The second half of the poem is lyrical. The third sentence is a distant connection and further explains that the place where the boat is released is in Peach Blossom Pond. "A thousand feet deep" not only describes the characteristics of the pool, but also foreshadows the conclusion. The water of Peach Blossom Pond is so deep, it touches Li Ren's feelings, and Wang Lun's deep affection is unforgettable, and the water is naturally connected with deep affection.
The concluding sentence bursts out with "Nothing better than Wang Lun's love for me", which vividly expresses the sincere and pure affection by comparing things with objects. Li Bai was also very good at grasping the aesthetic psychology and artistic taste of the recipients. Wang Lun was an ordinary villager, and Li Bai used the language that was easy to understand, fresh and lively, and rich in folk song color for the poems he gave him.
