It's a beautiful spring, with a faint cloud of smoke floating in the clear sky, and a farewell banquet is being held at the entrance of Liu Yin Avenue. But parting is just around the corner, and my heart is full of sadness. This wine is not enough. Li Ren raised his luxurious whip and pointed to Jiangnan, the far place to go on this trip. I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, where grass grows and warblers fly, pink and green alternate with each other, and spring scenery is more beautiful. It's just that it's hard for a person to enjoy its beautiful scenery, so the more beautiful the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is, the more it increases people's sorrow and makes people feel sad.
Ancient parting
Don? Wei Zhuang
Clear smog and willow trees in the desert (1)
No, the farewell wine is half drunk. ②
More jade whip cloud refers to the outside, (3)
Heartbroken spring scenery is in Jiangnan.
—— Selected from Huanhua Collection
[Notes]
(1) sān: describes the slender drooping of willow branches. ② No: Helpless. Humor: bright and cheerful. Jade whip: a kind of luxurious whip. Outside the cloud: that is, outside the cloud. Beyond the cloud, Jiangnan is far away.
[Appreciation]
The beauty of spring brings people a kind of spiritual pleasure, but for those who leave, such beauty makes people feel helpless. Wei Zhuang's "Ancient Parting" is about this kind of helplessness.
The first and second sentences of this poem are about the scene when you are leaving. It's a beautiful spring, with a faint cloud of smoke floating in the clear sky, and a farewell banquet is being held at the entrance of Liu Yin Avenue. But parting is just around the corner, and my heart is full of sadness. This wine is not enough. The third and fourth sentences go on to write the feelings of spring scenery in Jiangnan after the imaginary departure. Li Ren raised his luxurious whip and pointed to Jiangnan, the far place to go on this trip. I want to go to Jiangnan, where grass grows and warblers fly, pink and green, and spring scenery is more beautiful. It's just that it's hard for a person to enjoy its beautiful scenery, so the more beautiful the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is, the more it increases people's sorrow and makes people feel sad.
Combining with reality, this poem successfully uses the contrast technique of "writing sadness with joy" to express the sadness of leaving people implicitly and tactfully.
