The horse drinks your wine, and I ask you where to go and why.
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.
Rhyme translation:
Invite you to dismount for a drink,
Dare I ask where you are going?
You say things in life are not going well,
Go to Zhong Nanshan to live in seclusion.
You go, I won't ask any more questions,
When the white clouds are boundless.
Brief analysis
This is a poem to send a friend into seclusion. On the surface, the sentence is dull, but in fact it is thin and tasteless, but the text is simple and profound. The first two sentences of the poem narrate and write the farewell wine, which leads to the following questions. Three or four sentences explain the reason why friends quit the race-"unsuccessful". Five or six sentences are comfort to friends, envy of seclusion, and denial of fame and wealth.
Danyang sent Wei there to join the army.
Danyang Li Guo sent a boat,
I don't know.
In the evening, Jiangnan looks at Jiangbei,
Western jackdaw in the west flies like water.
Distinguish and appreciate
[Tang] (around 756 AD) Yue people. The year of birth and death is unknown. He lived in Tang Suzong for about the first year. At the beginning, he lived in seclusion in Tonglu and befriended Liu Changqing. In the second year of Zhide, he entered the scholar with "Zhuang language". Family poverty to the old, not far away, awarded Zhujiwei. At that time, he was over forty years old. Yan Zhongcheng, the secretary of Hou Li, saved Henan and established the shogunate. Ordered to move to Yuyao. The final right to fill the vacancy. Wei Zhu has a volume of poems, and The Book of the New Tang Dynasty has been handed down from generation to generation.
Jiang Yan's "Biefu" said: "The ecstasy is just parting!" Throughout the ages, many people have sighed and felt disappointed for the "parting" in the world. Speaking of poetry, there are many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. Yan Yu said: "The good poems of the Tang people are mostly works of defense, exile, travel and parting, which can often touch people's hearts and stimulate people's feelings." (Cang Lang Shi Hua) Because such works are generally full of true feelings and little affectation, they are the easiest to move people's hearts.
"Send Wei to Danyang to join the army" is a good farewell poem with sincere and profound feelings, beautiful and smooth words and endless aftertaste.
The first sentence, "Take a boat in Danyang", explains the place of farewell-between the inner and outer cities of Danyang, and the way friends travel-by boat and waterway. There are two ancient city defenses, inner city and outer city. Danyang is a river city, so Li Guo can also sail.
The second sentence, "I don't know the autumn between the two places", explains the farewell time-autumn. "A leaf falls, you know the world is autumn." The language "autumn in two places" does not mean that the autumn colors in two places are different, but that they are the same, and people have been divided into two places. The feeling of parting is beyond words. It is also worth noting that the word "worry" is implied in the sentence. The word "worry" can be divided into two words: heart and autumn, so poets often use words like "autumn heart" and "autumn heart" to imply the word "worry". This sentence "I don't know autumn in two places" is thought-provoking when I write autumn clearly and with many hidden worries.
The third and fourth sentences write the scene after parting. "Looking at the North at dusk" points out the direction for friends' long journey-Jiangbei. Lanzhou has passed and it is difficult to leave. It's dusk; Even swarms of western Western jackdaw have flown away. They all belong to their nests. However, the poet still stood by the river and stared at the direction of his friend's departure for a long time. "West Western jackdaw is full of water" is a scene in front of us, but there is affection in the scene and the scene is integrated. Friends in the distance, meet for life, birds fly away, no trace can be found. How empty heaven and earth seem. Only the endless river flows quietly, just like the infinite sadness in the poet's heart.
This poem is characterized by deep and natural feelings, highly harmonious scenes, witty remarks and endless aftertaste. It is indeed a masterpiece in the farewell poems of the Tang Dynasty.
Supplement: This four-line poem is the author's description of his farewell to Wei and after, showing their sincere friendship.
The first two sentences of this poem have been deleted. The first sentence "Danyang national gift" explained that the place to see me off was on the outer edge of Danyang. "boating" means that friends will leave by water. At this time, the poet felt thousands of feelings of parting and all kinds of sadness. The two seemingly seasonal words "autumn in two places" and "autumn" actually express people's emotions. The bleak autumn scenery added a parting line. The author also skillfully uses word breaking to explain "sorrow" with "autumn" in "heart", so "autumn in two places" is a pun.
The last two sentences of the poem are about Wei's deep thoughts after he was sent away. The sentence "Looking at the south of the Yangtze River at dusk" turns to nature, showing the abstract sadness of the previous sentence incisively and vividly without trace. The contrast and care between "Jiangnan" and "Jiangbei" highlights the barrier of the river. Danyang is in the south of the Yangtze River, and "Jiangnan"-"Jiangbei" is not only the route for friends to sail, but also the direction for the author to watch. The word "Wang" conveys the feeling of missing, and the word "Xi" implies the long time of missing and shows the deep friendship. The last sentence naturally comes from "Wang", "West Western jackdaw is full of water". This sentence writes what you see in hope. Express the author's leisure through the rendering of environmental atmosphere. Because of missing, standing by the river and gazing for a long time, in the autumn dusk, the Western jackdaw in the west on the river adds to people's worries. However, even this sad western Western jackdaw has "flown away" at this moment, leaving only the long river that flows far away. All this gives people a feeling of loneliness, silence and emptiness. "Water is very long" contains infinite yearning for affection.
This little poem is humorous, vivid and natural. It can not only penetrate sincere feelings in the description of the scenery, but also express the picture in lyric, so as to be inexhaustible.
