Please have a drink with your horse and ask your friend where you are going.
You said you would go back to Zhongnanshan because you were not proud of your life.
Just left, I want to ask again, look at the white clouds floating.
Please dismount and have a drink. Where are you going? You said you were going to live in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan because you were not very successful. You go, I won't ask again, because the white clouds are boundless. Please drink your wine. Where to: Where to? Nanshan: Zhong Nanshan.
This poem was written to send a friend to live in seclusion. The seemingly prosaic sentence, under close reading, is simple and full of carefree meaning. The hermit described by Wang Wei has his own shadow. As for why he is not satisfied, Lao Du and others must have a lot of complaints, but they are only mentioned in passing here, showing the elegant temperament of the characters, the rejection of the secular and the yearning for seclusion.
This is the first poem to send a friend into seclusion. It tells the reason of seclusion with friends by asking and answering questions, and also shows the poet's complicated thoughts and feelings. The poet's concern and love for his friends not only comforted his friends, but also expressed envy for their retirement, which showed that the poet was not satisfied with his reality. The language of the whole poem seems unremarkable, but the last two sentences add poetry, which can be described as shallow words and deep feelings, containing endless meanings.
