Make an appreciative comment
To Wang Lun is a farewell poem written by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, to Wang Lun, a local friend, when he was traveling in Jingxian County (now southern Anhui Province). The poem first describes the scene that Li Bai is about to leave by boat. Wang Lun saw him off with a song, which expressed the simple and sincere feelings of an ordinary villager to the poet very simply and naturally. The last two poems are handy. They praise the profundity of the Peach Blossom Pond with "deep thousands of feet" first, and then change the word "less than" to turn the intangible friendship into a tangible thousands of feet Pond with contrast, vividly expressing Wang Lun's sincere and profound friendship for himself. The language of the whole poem is fresh and natural, and the imagination is rich and strange, which makes people memorable. Although there are only four sentences and twenty-eight characters, it is a household name and one of the most widely circulated masterpieces in Li Bai's poems.
