When you go to Suzhou, you will see that all the houses there are built by the river.
The houses in Suzhou city are connected together, and there is no open space; Even on the branch of the river, bridges are full of troubles.
The night market is full of water chestnuts, and the boats in the river are full of exquisite silk.
Recalling you far away, when the moon is not sleeping, hearing the songs on the river will touch your homesickness.
Translation:
When you go to Gusu, you will see that all the houses there are built by the river.
The houses in Gusu city are all connected together, and there is no open space. Even on the tributaries of this river, there are small bridges.
The night market is filled with the sound of selling lotus roots, and the boats in the river are full of exquisite silk fabrics.
Thinking of you in the distance, when you are awake on a moonlit night, hearing fishing songs on the river will definitely touch your homesickness.
Poetry appreciation
Send someone to visit Wu is the work of Du Xunhe, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This is a poem that depicts the scenery of Suzhou to pedestrians in a farewell way. "Wu" in the poem title and "Gusu" in the poem are all called Suzhou. At the end, I look forward to the homesickness of travelers after going to the Soviet Union to set off my farewell, especially the fresh and profound beauty.
This farewell poem depicts the beautiful scenery of Wu through imagination, without any sadness at parting, novel and gratifying, with only a slight farewell at the end.
The first two sentences "See you in Suzhou, people sleep by the river." The biggest feature of Suzhou is water. Since Wu Zixu built the city in Suzhou, the waterways in the city are criss-crossed, and the number of fishing boats and water life have always been the main life of local people. The couplets of the poem inherit the "people do their best to pillow the river" and point out such local characteristics.
