? Ninety years are like a dream. Every inch is close to the river, every inch is the land of ecstasy. At sunset, yellow butterflies rise in the wild fields, and the ancient locust bushes sway in deep green.
? The melancholy jade flute urges you to say goodbye. Hui's orchid show is not a sad thing. Overlapping tear stains and brocade characters, the only thing in life is love that is hard to die!
? "Ninety years are like a dream" refers to the early summer, when the third spring has passed, the author looks back on his travels in Beijing as if it were a dream. "Everywhere is close to the river, every inch is ecstatic" expresses his attachment to this land and his feelings of farewell when he left Beijing. The last two sentences describe the scene in the fields behind Dongbianmen.
? "The melancholy jade flute reminds me of farewell" expresses the "melancholy" of leaving Beijing this time. "It's not a sad thing to have some orchids in Hui": "Sao" refers to Qu Yuan's masterpiece "Li Sao", "Xie" refers to "Zhaohun" which often ends with the word "Xie", and in Chu Ci, "Hui" and "Lan" are also used. "The herb that belongs to it symbolizes the beauty and nobleness of character, ambition, and conduct, so "Huixie Lansao" is used here as the synonym for Chu Ci. In the author's opinion, the melancholy expressed in Chu Ci is not enough to express his "sadness" at this time. The two lines at the end, "Overlapping tear stains and brocade characters, there is only love in life that cannot die", use the traditional technique of poetry to express the lingering and secluded feelings of love between men and women in the capital.
