Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
I live by the river, with the door facing the mouth.
There are often boats in Jiangnan. Do you send the book home?
You have just come from our hometown, and we must understand the world.
When you passed my window, did the plum blossom bloom its first cold flower? .
I have seen cold plum hair and heard birds singing.
Looking forward to the spring grass, I am afraid of my previous life.

I live by the Jin Meng River, and my home is opposite the Jin Meng Ferry.
There are Jiangnan boats every day along the Yangtze River. Is there any letter from her husband from Jiangnan?
You have just come from our hometown, so you must know the way of the world in your hometown.
Did Chimonanthus praecox bloom in front of my carved window when you came?
I saw plum blossoms in full bloom, and I heard birds singing.
A sad heart watched the spring grass grow, and the more and more lush spring grass was going to be connected to the front of the steps, so I couldn't help but be afraid.
Make an appreciative comment
This poem develops emotional activities from triggering and association. The heroine lives near the ferry, and ships pass by the door every day; So she thought there might be a boat in the south of the Yangtze River. My husband has been away from home for a long time in Jiangnan. Since there is a Jiangnan boat, there may be a letter sent back by her husband from Jiangnan. She may lean against the door several times a day. Whenever I see a ship moored at the ferry, I can't help asking questions, but the result is always disappointing. In the poem, there is always a boat in Jiangnan, which means there is always no letter. However, the protagonist still pinned his hopes on the next ship. She thought: maybe the letter has been sent and is on the way, so the ending of the poem "not at home" is the hope of the young woman's disillusionment and resurrection.
