This poem describes the author's mood when he bid farewell to his friends in Yishui, and compares today with history. The whole poem is profound in meaning and desolate in style.
The meaning of the last poem: at that time, everyone left, and today's Xiao is still so cold.
The center of this poem is the fourth sentence, especially the word "cold" at the end of the poem, which is the finishing touch. The word "cold" contains the feelings in the scene, binds the feelings and the scene together, and forms meaning with images. Scenery and elephants. It is the concrete description, feeling and significance of objective things, and the poet's aesthetic comprehension and feeling of objective things. The ancients said, "The elephant means meaning." Poets belong to natural objects and readers belong to artistic objects. Finding the objective existence of beauty and the great expression of life personality, thus transferring this subjective feeling and meaning to objective scenery and images, giving life to nature and art, and giving objective things subjective souls, is "empathy" in poetry creation and appreciation. The word "cold" in Today's Water is still cold is the material symbol of this empathy, which is the most successful place in this poem. The title of this poem is farewell, but it doesn't say who to say goodbye to and what to say goodbye to. The whole poem is purely about history. But reciting the whole poem, the magnificent scene of "generously leaning on the sword and singing a song to send you away" is just around the corner. Because history itself is a strong farewell, which is the same as the poet's farewell to his friends in the event. Farewells in ancient and modern times are all on the banks of Yishui River, and the places are the same. Yi shui spans ancient and modern times, poetry spans time and space, and the whole poem is integrated. One ancient and one present, one bright and one dark, two clues are explained at the same time, and finally unified in the word "cold" of "today's water is still cold" The conception of this poem is very clever.
