"Farewell to Chu"
Author: Ouyang Xiu
The flowers are bright and the willows are bright. They see me off before drinking wine.
I am also drunk as usual, and I don’t want to teach the strings and instruments to make separate sounds.
Translation:
In the season when flowers are in bloom and willow trees are bright,
(the people) drink wine for me to bid farewell,
I hope to be like usual Just as happy to drink,
Don't want the strings to play a farewell tune.
Appreciation:
Ouyang Xiu was demoted to the magistrate of Chuzhou (the state government is in today's Chu County, Anhui Province) in August 1045 (the fifth year of Qingli reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty) and worked in Chuzhou for more than two years. A local official, his famous prose "The Drunkard's Pavilion" was written in Chuzhou. In 1048 (the eighth year of Qingli), he was appointed magistrate of Yangzhou. This poem "Bie Chu" was written at that time.
The first sentence is that Ouyang Xiu is broad-minded and can still enjoy himself everywhere despite being in adversity. The last two paragraphs of his "The Drunkard's Pavilion" show the scene of him having fun with the people. This poem also uses the word drunk in "The Drunkard's Pavilion", but it does not exaggerate the emotions of separation too much. "The Drunkard's Pavilion" is about the joy of banquets and the beauty of mountains and rivers. The scene of the farewell banquet between fathers and relatives expressed in this poem is particularly interesting. The first sentence describes the scenery, indicating that the time of farewell to Chu is in the spring when the scenery is harmonious. Ouyang Xiu moved from Chuzhou to Yangzhou. The official documents from the imperial court were issued in the leap month of that year, and he arrived in Yangzhou in February. Chuzhou is located in the south and has a warmer climate. It is different from another poem "Playing with Yuan Zhen" written by the author in Yiling (now Yichang, Hubei Province). The spring breeze does not reach the end of the world. In February, there are no flowers in the mountain city. The light is thick and the willow silk is light and bright. In this way, the first sentence of this poem not only describes the seasonal characteristics of Biechu, but also sets a comfortable and cheerful tone for the whole poem.
The second sentence of the narrative describes how the local officials and people specially paid a farewell visit to Ouyang Xiu. Before drinking wine, a banquet was held to send the magistrate to the state, which was exactly the opposite of the magistrate's banquet in "The Drunkard's Pavilion". On this day, there were silk and bamboo to add to the fun, and the atmosphere was warm and grand. Although it is different from the previous fun of throwing pots, playing chess, and drinking and feasting, it also describes the enjoyment of the officials and the people and the deep affection of the Chuzhou people for the wise governor who left office.
The last two sentences are lyrical. The poet implicitly expresses his contradictory and exciting mood in calm and composed language. During his tenure in Chuzhou, Ouyang Xiu was quite helpful in his administration. The sincere and friendly feelings expressed to him by the local elders during the farewell made the poet's heart unable to calm down for a long time: more than two years of relegated life are about to pass. The place here is secluded, simple, and the folk customs are honest. The author is particularly fond of the previous time with the guests at Langya Mountain in Chuzhou. The scene of the banquet was nostalgic; but at this time, parting was imminent. The mountains and rivers of Chuzhou and the warm farewells of the officials and people made him have mixed feelings. Here I also used the word "qie" like a drunken person every day, and used it very well to describe the poet's expression and inner activities when he was drinking happily with the guests. The concluding sentence uses a contrasting technique. The music played as entertainment at this farewell banquet is a tune that Ouyang Xiu usually likes to listen to. But because of the worry-free baby mind, the more pleasant the tune is, the more uncomfortable it feels inside. Zhang Wei of the Tang Dynasty wrote a farewell poem titled "Send Lu Ju's Envoy to Heyuan": The old man went to the border state for service, and there are many horses left today. When will the long road pass through the mountains end? The hall full of silk and bamboo will worry about you. The meaning expressed in the conclusion here was adapted by Ouyang Xiu. Don't teach the strings and pipes to make separate sounds, which can make people think and make the poetry linger. Later, Huang Tingjian's poem "Night Sends Ning to Du Jiansou" I was just as drunk that day, and the wind and moon in the river made me sad for others, and I was free from it.
This poem by Ouyang Xiu is obviously different from the sadness expressed in other works that describe the sorrow of separation. It is written briskly and naturally, easy and smooth, and very touching. This is in sharp contrast to the Xikun style poetry that was popular in the early Song Dynasty and deliberately pursued gorgeous rhetoric but empty content. Because Ouyang Xiu corrected the shortcomings of the times with his bright and simple poetic style in poetry creation, he became a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu's poems

I am so drunk that I fall asleep, meandering and turning into illness.
Don’t let me carry you here in your previous life. In this life, you will be lonely and lonely.
The promise is completely uncertain. Who is lucky first?
He is not used to sleeping alone and is used to being in pairs. He is a slave and has a hard heart.
2. "Sauvignon Blanc"
Deep flower branches. Light flowering branches.
When dark and light flowers and branches are combined.
Flowers and branches are difficult to compare with Iraq. Jade is like flesh.
Liu Rumei.
Love the gold goose. Who is more likely to cry makeup?
3. "Chaozhongcuo"
The sill of the flat mountain leans against the clear sky, and the mountain scenery is mixed.
The weeping willows in front of the Hand Bell Hall, how many spring breezes are there?
The governor of articles writes thousands of words and drinks a thousand bells at a time.
4. "Drip Drops of Gold"
A handful of waves slide in front of you. We care about each other.
The curved screen is deep and fragrant, and the lanterns are slightly transparent.
When someone wants to talk, his eyebrows will wrinkle first. Ruby is trapped in spring wine.
To ask Yuanyuan Quilt after this time. When will it happen again?
5. "The Drunkard's Pavilion"
Chu is surrounded by mountains.
Its southwest peaks and forest ravines are particularly beautiful.
The one that looks awe-inspiring but deep and beautiful is Langya.
After walking six or seven miles up the mountain, you gradually hear the sound of gurgling water flowing out between the two peaks.
It is called Ningquan.
On the winding road, there is a pavilion standing over the spring.
It is also called the Drunkard Pavilion. Who built the pavilion?
The monk Zhixian of the mountain. Who is named?
The prefect calls himself. The prefect and his guests came here to drink.
He often got drunk after drinking a little, and he was the oldest.
So he called himself the drunkard.
The drunkard's intention is not in wine, but in the mountains and rivers.
The joy of mountains and rivers is the wine contained in the heart.
If the sun rises and the forest falls, and the clouds return and the cave becomes dark,
The changes in darkness and brightness are like morning and evening in the mountains.
The wild fields are fragrant and fragrant, the beautiful trees are beautiful but densely shaded,
The wind and frost are noble and clean, the water falls and the rocks emerge,
these are the four seasons in the mountains.
Going in the morning and returning at dusk,
The scenery in the four seasons is different, and the joy is endless.
As for the loser who sings on the road, and the traveler who rests in the tree,
The former calls, and the latter responds,
Those who support and support each other, and go back and forth without stopping, are Chu People travel too.
Fishing near the stream, the stream is deep and the fish are fat.
The spring is brewed into wine, the spring is fragrant but the wine is tart;
The mountain delicacies and wild asparagus are mixed and aged beforehand, which is also the prefect's banquet.
The joy of a banquet is neither silk nor bamboo.
The one who shoots the ball wins, and the one who chess wins.
The one who drinks and drinks mingled with each other, the one who sits up and makes a noise, all the guests are happy also.
Anyone with pale face and white hair who seems to be slumped is a drunken governor.
The sun has set on the mountain, and the figures are scattered.
The prefect has returned and the guests have followed.
The woods are dark and the birds are singing happily. The tourists are gone and the birds are happy.
However, birds know the joy of mountains and forests, but they do not know the joy of people;
People know the joy of traveling from the prefect, but they do not know the joy of the prefect.
He who can enjoy himself when he is drunk and can write about it when he is awake is a prefect.
Who does the prefect call? Luling Ouyang Xiuye.

After drinking and rejoicing, I can’t return home, my heart is broken and the moon is slanting towards spring. Ouyang Xiu "Langtaosha"
"Langtaosha"
Ouyang Xiu
Let's drink wine to the east wind, and be calm.
We always meet hand in hand at the time when weeping poplars and purple trees cross the road east of Luo City,
traveling through the fragrant bushes.
The gatherings and separations are in a hurry, and this hatred is endless.
This year’s flowers are more red than last year’s.
It’s a pity that next year’s flowers will be even better. Who do you know?
Notes:
1. Hold the wine: Hold the wine glass.
2. Calm: nostalgia, reluctance.
3. Purple Road: Purple Road. Luoyang was once the capital of the Eastern Zhou and Han Dynasties. It is said that purple soil was used to pave roads at that time, hence its name. This refers to the road in Luoyang. Luocheng: refers to Luoyang.
4. Always: mostly yes, all.
5. Hurry: describes the rush of time.
6. Two sentences of pity: Du Fu's poem "Nine Days at Cui's Village in Lantian": Next year we will know who is healthy. I'll look at the dogwood carefully when I'm drunk.
Translation:
Pick up the glass and pray to the east,
Please stay a little longer and don’t rush away.
The country path with weeping willows in the east of Luoyang City is the place where we traveled together last year.
We visited the colorful flowers.
The reunions and separations are so hasty,
The hatred in my heart is endless.
This year’s bonus is better than last year’s,
Next year’s flowers will be even more beautiful,
It’s a pity that I don’t know who I will be with then?
Appreciation:
This poem was written with my feelings when I was traveling with my friends in the old place in the east of Luoyang City in spring. The narrative of the first film recalls the joyous gatherings of spring outings in Luo City in the past and admiring flowers. The two sentences about "wine" start from the banquet, and specifically mention the poet's wishes: I wish the spring breeze will last forever, the spring scenery will be bright, and the spring flowers will be beautiful, so that friends can enjoy the spring scenery leisurely together, and enjoy the feast together, showing that The spring scenery of Luoyang is wonderful, banquets are rare, and gatherings are rare.
Chuiyang's three sentences further explained the location and environment of the friends' gathering, and then it was revealed that this time it was a gathering in Luocheng, enjoying flowers, and traveling around the fragrant bushes. Friends will break up again after today’s tour. Who can predict what will happen next year? Then I felt the emotion of expressing myself in the next film. The two sentences "Gathering and Dispersing" use the words "bitterness and hatred" to summarize the life experience of people in the officialdom who always come and go in an endless hurry, bitterness and hatred, and unpredictable gatherings and separations. Finally, this year's flowers are better than last year's, and it is expected that next year's flowers will be even better, reflecting the uncertainty of friends gathering and separation next year. I don't know who I will go to Los Angeles with again, further deepening this sense of the impermanence of life's gathering and separation. . The farewell is cast in flower appreciation, the flowers of three years are compared, and the farewell is written layer by layer. The idea is novel and poetic. It is a wonderful stroke in the article, and the importance of farewell also illustrates the same sentiment. The depth of friendship. Ouyang Xiu Nan Gezi
"Nan Gezi"
Ouyang Xiu
Phoenix bun with gold mud belt, dragon pattern jade palm comb.
They came to the window and smiled and helped each other.
Love Tao Thrush eyebrows shades, timeless.
I have spent a long time leaning against people with my pen, and I am just beginning to try my hand at describing flowers.
It’s easy to waste your embroidery skills.
I asked with a smile how the word "Double Mandarin Duck" came into being.
Appreciation:
This poem praises love, getting rid of the common stereotype of missing lovesickness or expressing love before flowers and under the moon, through the newlywed woman’s special makeup and passionate and affectionate words, movements and expressions. , vividly reflects the young woman's pure and deep affection for her husband, as well as her cherishment and yearning for a happy love life. The two lines of "phoenix bun" and "dragon pattern" describe the bride's strict make-up, which is like a close-up in a movie. You can see her loving life and attaching importance to each other's aesthetic attitude without seeing anyone, and her kind inner world also shows her identity as a young woman from a noble family. Walking with a smile and a hand, the person's appearance and spirit are wonderful, and the person is ready to be called out; the love sentence makes the reader feel like hearing his charming and soft voice; the details of the brush and flower painting are vivid and expressive: the idle sentence can best show the person's excitement about the wedding and the intoxication in love. Expression and state of mind in happiness: The questions asked with a smile are smart, innocent, realistic, cute, clear and connotative, and full of fun. The whole poem uses the life process to show the details of the bride expressing love to her husband in the boudoir. It is demonstrated layer by layer and runs through the whole poem. It is full of real life and festive colors, reaching the artistic level of perfection. He Shangyun: The poet must make the readers feel as if they are walking in the place and seeing the people in person, which is the top of Pengshan Mountain. Just like Ouyang Gong, who has been using his pen for a long time and has been leaning against someone for a long time, and when he tries his hand at tracing flowers, he feels as if he is just now, doubting the pen of a chemical engineer.
