Poetic:
This poem pays tribute to the prosperity and prosperity of Zhuque Bridge on Qinhuai River in Nanjing in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Wuyi Lane on the south bank. Nowadays, weeds are overgrown and desolate, and people feel that life is changing. It is a common phenomenon that the author chooses the host family where swallows live, which is no longer the master of the old days, and makes people realize that it is difficult to maintain wealth and splendor, and those high-ranking officials and nobles who once had a good time have become a thing of the past. There is not a comment in the poem, but through the description of weeds and sunset, taking swallows as witnesses of ups and downs, skillfully linking history with reality, guiding people to think about the development of the times and social changes, which contains profound implications. Although the whole poem is extremely shallow, its taste is infinite.
translation:
? Rosefinch Bridge is covered with clumps of weeds and little wild flowers. Broken walls, the mouth of Wuyi Lane, is the setting sun. Swallows, which used to nest in front of Xie Wang lobby, now fly into ordinary people's homes.

Note:
(1) Wuyi Lane: the street name in Jinling City, which is located in the south of Qinhuai River and close to Zhuque Bridge. During the Three Kingdoms period, the State of Wu once set up a military camp here, which was the residence of the imperial army. Because the imperial guards were dressed in black uniforms at that time, there was a saying here that Wuyi Lane was called. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, two families, Wang Dao and Xie 'an, both lived in Wuyi Lane, and called their children "Wuyilang". After entering the Tang Dynasty, Wuyi Lane was reduced to ruins.
(2) Zhuque Bridge: a bridge across Qinhuai River outside Zhuque Gate, south of Jinling in the Six Dynasties, located in Jiangning District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.
(3) Xie Wang: Wang Dao, Xie An, Jin Xiang, a big family, with many talents, all lived in the alley, crowned with tassels, and were the giants of the Six Dynasties. In the old days, Wang Xie's family had many swallows. To the Tang dynasty, they all declined and did not know their place.
(4) normal: normal.
