The translation of the ancient poem "Farewell at Yishui" is:
In this place, Jing Ke bid farewell to Prince Dan of Yan, and the strong man sang tragic songs and was full of anger. The people at that time are gone, and Yishui is still so cold today. Original poem:
This place is different from Yandan, and the strong men are proud of their crowns.
The people were gone in those days, but the water is still cold today.

Poetry Appreciation
Wang Luo Bin wanted to achieve something in his career, but he was suppressed and fell into depression. The poem is titled "Giving Someone a Gift", but it does not specify who it is for. The first two sentences are borrowed from historical events to reflect the uncontrollable anger in the poet's heart.
In the past, the heroic farewell of the Yishui River refers to Jing Ke's revenge on the King of Qin for Prince Dan of Yan. When Jing Ke left, he sang: "The wind is rustling and the Yishui River is cold. The strong man will never return once he leaves." The song is tragic and exciting. "The men all had angry eyes, and their hair reached the top of their fingertips." The poet used these two sentences to summarize the farewell scene and write the impassioned mood of the characters. The poet draws on the past and present, and integrates the past and the present to prepare conditions and brew the atmosphere for the following lyric.
"People have disappeared in the past, but today the water is still cold", the two function words "already" and "still" effectively express the poet's depression and unexplainable grief. These two sentences embody emotion in the scenery, with comparisons in the scenery. They not only describe Jing Ke's noble character and integrity that will survive through the ages, but also imply the poet's deep feelings about the real environment.
This poem depicts a passionate and solemn scene for readers. It can be imagined that the poet must be bidding farewell to a close friend with sincerity. Only in this way can he express his depression and reflect his own state of mind when breaking up. .
