Literally: there are still thousands of sailboats from Qian Qian passing by the capsized ship; There are thousands of trees thriving in front of the dead trees.
Deep meaning: using metaphor and borrowing the changes of natural scenery to imply the development of society, which contains philosophy. What it means now is that new things are bound to overcome old things.
Liu Yuxi lamented that he had been repeatedly relegated and attacked by old diseases, so that he achieved nothing. However, he also used "Qian Fan State" and "Wan Muchun" to express his deep satisfaction that there are still many like-minded friends in the world.
People have given it richer meaning and it has a new life. A common explanation is that "sunken ship" and "diseased tree" represent the extinction of old things, while "Qian Fan's experience" and "Wan Muchun" represent the outbreak of new things, and the world keeps moving forward in this alternation of the old and the new.
Original poem
See you at the first meal in Yangzhou.
The mountains were desolate and silent for twenty-three years.
People come back. Like people in Michelle, I can only play the flute, and I am disappointed.
On one side of the boat, Qian Fan races; At the head of the sick tree, every year is a spring shower.
Today, listen to you sing a song, drink a glass of wine and cheer up.
Translation:
He was relegated to these desolate places of Bashan and Chushui, and spent 23 years in poverty.
The old days of remembering old friends and reciting Xiao Fu in vain no longer exist.
There are still thousands of sailboats from Qian Qian passing by the capsized ships; There are thousands of trees thriving in front of the dead trees.
After listening to the poem you recited to me today, I will cheer up with this glass of wine for the time being.

Appreciation of "Qian Fan beside the sunken ship and Wan Muchun in front of the sick tree"
The poet used the metaphor of "sunken ship" and "diseased tree" to express his optimism about the future by describing the scene of "Qian Fan competing beside the sunken ship, and all trees are in spring before the diseased tree".
The two words "sunken ship" and "diseased tree" vividly and profoundly reflect the changing and developing laws of things, and are endowed with new meanings: new things will definitely replace old things.
Creation background
The First Meeting in Yangzhou is a poem written by Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi in the second year of Tang Jingzong Bao Li (826). Coincidentally, Liu Yuxi went from Hezhou to Luoyang, and Bai Juyi went from Suzhou to Luoyang. Two great poets with the same destination met in Yangzhou before they arrived in Luoyang. This is the first time they have met, and they are very happy. Bai Juyi was drunk and wrote a song "Drunk to Twenty-eight Ambassadors of Liu" for Liu Yuxi. Liu Yuxi was very moved when he heard this, so he wrote "The First Meeting in Yangzhou to Enjoy Lotte" and gave it back to Bai Juyi.
