Author: Wei Yingwu
Now that we are apart, where can we meet again? The waves of the world are on the boat, and you can stay safe along the way!
Desolately go to my dear, and disappear into the smoke. Returned to Luoyang, with broken bells and trees in Guangling.
We are apart now, where can we meet again? The waves of the world are on the boat, and you can stay safe along the way!
We see you off for a thousand miles, but we must say goodbye in the end.
Translation:
Farewell to my dear friend sadly, the ship sailed into the vast smoke. I paddled my oar briskly back to Luoyang, and the lingering sound of the dawn bell still circled the trees in Guangling.
I bid you farewell here today. When and where can we meet again? Human relationships and worldly affairs are like a boat on the waves. How can we make our own decisions when sailing along the current?
Extended information
"The First Letter from Yangtze to the Yuan Dynasty" is a poem written to express feelings for a friend when parting. The poet had a deep relationship with Yuanda. When he could still see the trees outside Guangling City and hear the temple bells, he thought of writing a poem and sending it to Yuanda.
The first four sentences of this poem describe separation. "Desolate to dear", the poet is separated from his friends and feels very sad. The word "dear" is used in the poem to commemorate each other, which shows that they have a deep friendship with each other. Once they are separated, they will naturally be reluctant to leave.
But the boat finally set off, and soon it was drifting in the confused smoke. Although the figure of the friend had disappeared, the poet kept looking back at Guangling City. At this moment, the poet suddenly heard the bells in Guangling Temple, faintly coming from the hazy smoke trees, and he felt even sadder.
The ten characters of this poem "Return to Luoyang people, the broken bells of Guangling trees" are very famous. The poet broke up with Yuanda and felt very sad. But the ship finally left.
The boat was floating in the smoke, and he couldn't help but look back at Guangling City. The woods outside the city became increasingly blurry and difficult to distinguish. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound he heard in Guangling again. The accustomed ringing of the temple bells, the conflicting feeling of having to leave but not wanting to be separated from my friends, were intertwined with the lingering sound of the ringing bells and the misty colors of the trees outside the city.
The poet did not say emotional words, but expressed emotions through images, and let the charm of the images infect the readers. The five words "Blooming Bell Guangling Tree" have extremely strong emotional color.
The next four sentences express feelings. Looking at the river flowing eastwards and never returning, the poet couldn't help but sigh: "Now we are saying goodbye, where can we meet again?" It is easy to be separated but difficult to reunite, so the period of reunion is unpredictable.
