Say goodbye to the ancient grassland
Author: Bai Juyi
The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.
Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.
Weeds and wild flowers are all over the ancient road, and the end of the grass in the sun is your journey.
I once again sent my bosom friend, and the thick grass represented my deep affection.

Modern Translation of Ancient Poetry
The ancient plains are overgrown with weeds. How lush the weeds are, withering and regenerating year after year. Wild fire can't put it out, but spring breeze blows through it and it is reborn. The ancient road is filled with the fragrance of grass, and a piece of green connects the deserted city in the distance. I have to send my friends on a long trip, and Chuncao seems to be full of affection.
Appreciation of famous sentences-"Wildfire will not devour them, they will stand up again in the spring breeze."
This is the work of Bai Juyi 16 years old, and it is also a masterpiece that has been told for generations. He has always opposed the work of "mocking snow to make flowers" without any sustenance. In this poem, the poet organically combines spring grass with farewell, expressing his reluctance to his friends. The first sentence closely follows the theme, writes the scenery in front of you, and at the same time explains the specific environment when seeing you off: the ancient plain is full of green grass and spring. The second sentence further describes the growth law of weeds in the primitive world, which implies a deep sigh. There are three or four sentences derived from the above sentence, praising Cao Chun's tenacious vitality. Although the wildfire is burning endlessly and the spring breeze is blowing, it is "reborn", but the wildfire seems to be strong, the spring breeze is moist and strong, and the spring grass is tenacious and tenacious. The author expressed it concisely in only ten words, thus making these two poems famous sentences with profound meanings and rich philosophies. Five or six sentences further describe the vitality of spring grass: the fragrance of vibrant weeds spreads on the ancient road, and the green in the sun is endless, far connecting the desolate ancient city. The words "invasion" and "connection" are used vividly and accurately. The last two sentences complement the meaning of "farewell" and are a profound but not sad ending.
