Appreciation
"Yan Yan", a very beautiful lyrical chapter in "The Book of Songs", the earliest farewell in the history of Chinese poetry do. In terms of artistic appeal, Xu Wei of the Song Dynasty praised him as "you can really weep ghosts and gods!" ("Yanzhou Poetry Talk"). In terms of influence and status, Wang Shizhen recommended him as "the ancestor of the eternal farewell" ("Daijingtang Poetry Talk"). Reciting poems, experiencing the poetry, saying goodbye after differences, and feeling deep and meaningful feelings are really heartbreaking.
After "Yan Yan", "Looking beyond reach" and "Standing and weeping" have become the archetypal images expressing farewell situations, appearing repeatedly in farewell poems of all dynasties. The "tears" of "standing and weeping" have become one of the artistic images on which the theme of separation is based. Xie Ao's "Autumn Society Sends a Letter to an Old Friend in the Mountains" "When the swallows come, people see off the guests, and the clothes are wet with tears of separation", which can be said to be the simplest summary of the poetic mood of "Yan Yan". The farewell situation of "looking beyond reach" has been used by poets of all ages in different farewell poems. For example, Li Bai used it to say goodbye to friends, Su Shi used it to say goodbye to brothers, and Zhang Xian used it to say goodbye to lovers. In He Jingming's "River Song", "You will go with the river, and I will be independent on the river" seems to depict a couple's farewell (see Qian Zhongshu's "Guan Zhui Bian"). Volume 1). "Yan Yan" is indeed the ancestor of farewell throughout the ages.
