Original text:
The grass on the plains is left to wither and grow. Wildfire cannot be eliminated, but it grows again when the spring breeze blows.
Far away, the fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green sky connects the deserted city. I'll send the king's grandchildren away again, but I'm full of farewell feelings.
Vernacular translation:
The grass on the field is so luxuriant that it withers in the fall and winter and grows green again in the spring. The relentless wildfire can only burn off the dry leaves, and the spring breeze blows the earth green and vibrant again. The fragrance of wild grass and wild flowers filled the ancient road, the sun shines green even the deserted city. I once again send off the heart of a long-distance friend luxuriant grass on behalf of my parting feelings.

Composition background:
Bai Juyi was sixteen years old at the time of his writing. At that time, Bai Juyi was taking the examination, and "Fulfilling the Farewell to the Ancient Grass" was written at that time. According to the rules of the examination, all limited poems must have the word "赋得" added at the beginning of the title, and the method of composition is similar to that of aria poems. The poem was written in the same style as the aria. It must be clear about the meaning of the title, and it must be clear about the beginning and the end of the poem, and it must be well written, and the whole poem must be ethereal and complete, so that it can be called decent.
The constraints are so strict that there are fewer masterpieces in this genre. It is reported, Bai Juyi this year began to enter the capital from the south of the Yangtze River, visit the famous Gu situation when the poems contributed to this work. At first, Gu Fong looked at the young scholar and said: "rice price is expensive, residence is not easy." Although he was making fun of Juyi's name, he was also implying that the capital was not a good place to make a living.
This poem expresses the feeling of farewell when sending off friends through the depiction of weeds on the ancient plains. It can be seen as an ode to the weeds, and thus an ode to life.

The whole poem has a strict chapter, natural and fluent language, neatly contrasted, and the writing of scenery and lyricism are blended into a perfect mood, which is a masterpiece in the "fude style".
