"Oh, go and ask this east-flowing river if it can go further than the love of friends!" Mean?

This poem comes from Li Bai's "Nanjing Hotel Parting" in Tang Dynasty, which means to ask, which lasts longer, love or running water?

1, the original text is as follows:

A gust of wind blew catkins, which made the shop more fragrant. A girl from Wu poured wine and advised me to drink it.

Comrades in my city came here to see me off. When each of them drank his glass, I said to him.

Oh, ask this river flowing eastward, whether it can go further than the love of friends! ?

2. Explain:

The spring breeze blows the catkins, the fragrance in the hotel is overflowing, and the maid holds out the wine and advises me to taste it carefully.

Young friends from Jinling rushed to see them off. If you want to leave or stay, you can drink your emotions.

Ask me, Donghe, Bieqing, running water, which is longer?

3. Writing background:

This poem was written in the 14th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (726). Li Bai went to Jinling (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) in the autumn when he left Shu, and stayed for about half a year. In the spring of the 14th year of Kaiyuan, the poet went to Yangzhou. When he left, a friend gave him a farewell dinner at the hotel. Li Bai wrote this poem as a farewell.

4. Introduction to the author:

Li Bai (70 1-762), whose real name is Taibai, also known as "purple laity" and "fallen fairy", was a great romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was praised as "poetic fairy" by later generations, and was also called "Du Li" with Du Fu. In order to distinguish himself from two other poets, Li Shangyin and Du Mu, that is, "Little Du Li", Du Fu and Li Bai merged again.
