The smooth and graceful Jinjiang River evokes Wenjun and Xue Tao.
The cleverness of words steals the tongue of a parrot, and the writing of phoenix feathers.
One after another they resigned and stopped writing, and all the ministers wanted to dream of swords.
After farewell, I miss each other across the smoke and water, and the calamus flowers are as high as five clouds.

4. Appreciation
Yuan Zhen is famous for his erotic poems and mourning poems, but his inconsistent sentiments and his abandonment of Xue Tao have been criticized by later generations. . Moreover, when his wife Wei Shi died, Yuan Zhen took concubines in Jiangling Prefecture. Many people thought that he was duplicitous. This poem is a reply letter written by Yuan Zhen to Xue Tao to express his longing for Xue Tao after parting.
What the poem says, in terms of content alone, is almost all praise for Xue Tao. "Jinjiang is smooth and beautiful in Emei, and Wenjun and Xue Tao are imagined." It is said that Xue Tao was born from the famous mountains and rivers, and at the same time, he was compared to Zhuo Wenjun. The author has many complimentary words such as "smooth" and "showy" at his fingertips and uses them skillfully. The next two couplets said that he was clever with words and had great literary talent. People who were good at writing stopped writing one after another, and the princes were ashamed of themselves. The last two sentences, "After farewell, I miss each other across the smoke and water, and the calamus flowers bloom in the five clouds high." It can be seen that the author still expresses the author's deep nostalgia. "The calamus flowers grow five clouds high", this is a euphemism to express the melancholy of longing for Xue Tao but having no chance to meet him. It is said that calamus flowers are not easy to bloom, but when they bloom, they are considered auspicious. "Calamus flower" here is a metaphor for Xue Tao. The so-called "calamus flower hair" literally means that I have seen this kind of flower that is not easy to bloom. In fact, it means that I have had a close relationship with Xue Tao. "Five clouds are high" means imagining the beauty's residence but not being able to reach it. This sentence is written very implicitly.
In terms of ideological quality, this poem has little merit. It was just a praising of Xue Tao's talent, poetic ability and beauty of rhetoric, expressing his feeling of being sadly in love without seeing each other again. However, the whole article is coherent and coherent, and it is also a proud gift from a talented man and a beautiful woman.
