Original text:
Misty rain enveloped Wu's day overnight; Send you in the morning, lonely and sad in Chushan!
Friends, if my friends in Luoyang invite me; Just say I'm still Bing Xin Okho, and stick to my faith!
Translation:
The cold rain spread all over Wudi River overnight, and even the hazy distant mountains seemed lonely after seeing you off in the morning!
When I arrive in Luoyang, if my relatives and friends in Luoyang call me, please tell them that my heart is still as crystal clear and pure as ice in a jade pot!

This poem is a farewell poem. "Cold rain enters Wu at night", misty rain hangs over Wu, weaving an endless network of worries. Rainy nights add to the bleakness of autumn, and also render the gloomy atmosphere of parting. The chill not only filled the misty rain, but also penetrated the hearts of two parting friends.
The characters "Lian" and "Jin" describe the continuous rain. People can clearly perceive the dynamics from the river rain, so it is conceivable that the poet stayed up all night because of his feelings.
And this picture of the night rain on the Wujiang River, which connects the water and the sky, just shows an extremely lofty and magnificent realm.
In the middle and late Tang poetry and graceful Song poetry, the sound of rain is often written on the phoenix tree under the window, the iron horse in front of the eaves, the residual lotus in the pool, and so on. But Wang Changling didn't really write the details of how to perceive the coming of autumn rain. He just summed up his hearing, vision and imagination into the rain of Lianjiang into Wu, dyed a lot of paper with thin ink, and set off the broad artistic conception of "seeing guests off in plain and bright, leaving Chushan alone", which was full of charm.
Early in the morning, it was already dawn, and Xin gradually was about to board the ship and return to the north. Looking at the distant mountains north of the Yangtze River, the poet felt lonely when he thought that his friends would soon disappear outside the Chushan Mountain.
