Old friends frequently waved to me, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and traveled to Yangzhou in this beautiful spring filled with catkins and flowers.
My friend's sail shadow faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing the first line of the Yangtze River and heading for the distant horizon.
The old friend said goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower and went east, and drifted to Yangzhou, where fireworks were woven in March. The sail shadow gradually disappeared at the junction of water and sky, only to see the rolling Yangtze River water rushing on the horizon.
Old friend: Old friend, this refers to Meng Haoran. He is older than Li Bai and enjoys a high reputation in the field of poetry. Li Bai admires him very much and has deep feelings for each other, so he is called an "old friend". Remarks: Goodbye.
Fireworks: describes the misty, catkin-like and flowery scenery in spring, and refers to the gorgeous spring. Down: Down the river.
Clear sky: Disappear in the blue sky. Do: end, disappear. Blue Sky: A work called Blue Mountain.
Just look: just look. Sky Flow: Flowing to the horizon: the horizon, the end of the horizon.
Overall appreciation
This farewell poem has its special emotional tone. It is different from Wang Bo's Farewell to Du Shaofu Shu Biography and Wang Wei's Farewell to Weicheng Qu, which is affectionate and considerate. This poem shows a poetic parting.
The reason for saying this is because this is the parting of two romantic and chic poets, and also because this parting is linked with a prosperous time, a prosperous time and a prosperous region, and the poet Li Bai's yearning is also brought in in the happy parting, which makes this parting very poetic.
Li Bai was neither sad nor unhappy about this parting. On the contrary, he thinks Meng Haoran's trip is very happy. He yearns for Yangzhou and Meng Haoran, so when he says goodbye, his heart flies with him, and there is endless poetry in his chest. Seeing my friends off in the beautiful scenery is really a special taste in my heart. The beauty is pleasing to the eye, but parting is sad. Profound and implicit, just like moral, it has achieved the artistic effect of fascination and daydreaming.
