original text

Jiangxia bid farewell to Song Dynasty

Author: Tang Libai

The water in Chuzhou is crystal clear, as if it were empty, as straight as the distant sea.

You and I will be thousands of miles apart, but there is this cup of wine in front of us.

The valley bird keeps crying when it is sunny, and the river ape is sad at night.

I have never shed tears in my life, but now I do.

To annotate ...

① Jiangxia: Wuchang, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Song: Song's younger brother. Twenty years after Kaiyuan, Yuan from Taiyuan wrote his poems at the right time. See Yu Xianhao's Li Bai Cong Kao.

(2) Chu water: refers to the river that flows through Hubei today.

Make an appreciative comment

This poem has a sad feeling, which was probably written by Li Bai in 732 AD (the 20th year of Kaiyuan) when he parted from Song Zhi, who went to cross his toes (now Hanoi, Vietnam).

The first pair of couplets "Chu water is empty, and the blue sea is connected remotely", which means that the Qinghe River in front of you is connected remotely with the blue sea. Chu River refers to a long river after the Han River flows in. Song's relegation is close to the sea, so the next sentence hints at where he will go.

"People are thousands of miles away and thrive in a cup" is similar to the depression in the early Tang Dynasty that "sadness is born in a thousand miles away, and hatred is born in a cup" (Not joining the army) and Gao Shi in the prosperous Tang Dynasty that "success is born in a cup" (Sent to Anxi), but with different tastes, depression insists on heavy judgment and high judgment. You can't copy the theory, and you can't judge the pros and cons. Poets are inevitably different because of their luck or accidental similarity. People are thousands of miles away, but friendship is in this shallow glass of wine. Less wine, friendship is not light at all. For a person, it is not only wine, but also profound friendship. Li Bai's poems vividly show these.

The phrase "Goose birds sing sunny days" on the necklace points out the weather when I see you off. The weather is sunny, but the author is not happy at all, but the beautiful scenery reflects the author's inner sadness and can impress readers more. The next sentence, "The river ape is whispering in the evening breeze", the cry of the river ape is very sad. When the author left his friend, it was even more heartbreaking to hear this voice. Through the description of the scenery, the author perfectly expressed his heart's reluctance to his friends.

"I can't cry all my life, so I can't stop crying here." The outbreak of true feelings, steep rise and fall, left great imagination space for readers. The poet was so emotional, probably out of sympathy for Song Zhi in his later years.

Brief introduction of the author

Li Bai (70 1 Feb. 28-762), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, is known as the "Poet Fairy" and the greatest romantic poet. Han nationality, born in Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions (now tokmak, Kyrgyzstan), moved to Changlong County, Mianzhou (Brazil County), Jiannan Province at the age of 5 (renamed Changming County in 7 12, now Qinglian Township, jiangyou city, Mianyang, Sichuan), and his ancestral home is Ji Cheng County, Longxi County (now south of Jingning County, Pingliang City, Gansu Province). His father, Li Ke, has two sons (Boqin, natural) and one daughter (Pingyang). There are more than 0/000 poems in the world, with masterpieces such as Difficult Road to Shu, it is hard to go, Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream, Jiang and Li Taibai Ji. He died in Dangtu, Anhui Province in 762 at the age of 6 1. ? Li Bai's poetic creation has a strong subjective color, which is mainly manifested in his emphasis on expressing heroism and passionate feelings, and rarely describing objective things and specific time in detail. Free and easy temperament, independent personality, and strong emotions that are easy to touch and erupt form the distinctive features of Li Bai's lyric style. He often erupts, and once his feelings are aroused, he rushes out without restraint, just like a hurricane in the sky and an overflowing volcano. His imagination is very strange, often has unusual connections, and changes with the flow of emotions.
