An old friend invites you for another drink. It's hard to meet old relatives when you go west from Yangguan.
From: Song of Anxi/Weicheng by Wang Wei in Tang Dynasty.
The rain in the early morning moistened the dust of the land, the inn of the inn, the branches and leaves of the inn, and a new leaf
Sincerely advise friends to drink a glass of wine, and it is difficult to meet their loved ones when they go out to Yang Guan in the west.
Weicheng, which has just rained in Mao Mao, still has wet ground and delicate willow leaves. An old friend invites you for another drink. It's hard to see old relatives when you leave Yangguan for the west.
Precautions:
1, Anxi: the abbreviation of Anxi Duhu House, which was established by the central government of the Tang Dynasty to govern the western regions. It is located in Qiuci City (now Kuqa, Xinjiang).
2. Weicheng Qu: It is also called "Send Yuan 20 An Xi", or "Yangguan Qu" or "Yangguan Triassic".
3. Weicheng: It is in the northwest of Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province, that is, the ancient city of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty, in the northwest of Chang 'an, on the north bank of Weishui.
4. Guest House: Hotel. Willow color: willow symbolizes parting.
This poem was written by Wang Wei when he sent his friends to the northwest frontier. Later, it was composed for musicians, and it was named "Three Layers of Yangguan". Yuaner was ordered to send messengers to Anxi Baofu, and Wang Wei went to Weicheng to see him off. He wrote this poem to express the poet's sadness, reluctance and reluctance to his friends.
The poet cut out this parting moment and made it eternal. My old friend is going on a long trip and will go to the border of Huangsha. At this time, I don't know when I can see you again. There are thousands of words to say. There is only one thing to say: drink this farewell bar! The feeling of parting, all the cares and blessings, have already melted into this glass of wine.
This poem describes a very common parting. It has no special background, and some are deep feelings of parting. Therefore, it was suitable for most farewell parties, and was later incorporated into Yuefu, becoming a popular and enduring song.
