Silly children don't do official business, and they rely on yat sen villa for quick things.
Qian Shan has a vast sky, and Chengjiang has a bright moon.
Zhu Xian is already a beauty, and her young eyes are chatting with wine.
Wan Li returned to the ship to play the flute, which is why we made an alliance with Bai Ou.
Translation:
When I finished, I boarded the express booth and leaned against the fence in the afterglow of the sunset.
Looking from a distance, there are countless autumn mountains and falling leaves, and the world is getting wider and wider. Under the bright moon, the Chengjiang River flows, making it more empty and clear in the moonlight.
My friends are far away, and I haven't been interested in playing strings for a long time. Only when I see the wine will my eyes show joy.
I came back from a long voyage thousands of miles away and played the flute on the ship; I really want to make friends with Bai Ou.
Creative background:
At that time, the author was a magistrate of a county in Jiangxi, and he had a lot of official duties. So he laughed at himself after working overtime and worked overtime for official business. Instead, he went out to relax and chose to go to the express delivery hall. Note that the Express Pavilion is not a ship, but an ancient building in Jiangxi. When he boarded the express pavilion and saw all kinds of beautiful scenery in the distance, he suddenly felt that everything in front of him was really beautiful and comfortable. At this moment, he doesn't want any more constraints, just want to sing his own voice, that is, playing the flute.
Compared with other ancient poems, this poem is more difficult to understand, belonging to Jiangxi poetry school, which does not rhyme, has many allusions and is not catchy to read.
But there is no need to care about these details.
Generally speaking, we only need to understand that this poem is a lyric poem, which expresses the author's inner monologue that he is tired of official business and yearns for freedom.
