What a beautiful glass of wine and a beautiful lamp for ten years.

Peach and plum spring breeze, a glass of wine, ten years of night rain.

-Excerpted from Huang Tingjian's "Send Yellow Several Times" in the Song Dynasty

Commentary: In the spring breeze, I saw peaches and plums and drank wine, and the rivers and lakes were down and out. I have been away for ten years, and I often miss you in the autumn rain in the lonely lamp.

Appreciation: The poet used images such as "peaches and plums" and "spring breeze" to describe the beautiful scene of reunion in the past, and used images such as "rivers and lakes" and "night rain" to describe the sadness after parting. The contrast between "happiness" and "sadness" set off a deep friendship, which is thought-provoking.

Huang Tingjian's "Send Yellow Several Times"

I live in Junnanhai, Beihai, and I can't send geese to deliver books. Peach and plum spring breeze, a glass of wine, ten years of night rain. Housekeeping, but with four vertical walls, does not cure diseases. I want to study, my head is white, and apes cry over streams.

I live on the northern seashore and you live on the southern seashore. I want to send a book to Hongyan, but it can't fly to Hengyang.

The spring breeze sees peaches and plums drinking wine, and the rivers and lakes are down and out. I have been away for ten years, and I often miss you in the autumn rain.

You only have four empty walls to support your livelihood, so hard; You run the country like a good doctor, you don't need to ask other people's experience.

I think you are poor, self-sufficient and study hard, and now your hair is white. Through the miasma-filled mountain stream, the apes wailed and climbed the ivy deep in the forest.
