Nanchangwei, Fujian, leaving the pavilion for spring.
Wildflowers are eager to see, but woodbirds are fresh to hear.
If you don't get drunk, you won't return.
Knowing each other far and near, Wan Li is still a neighbor.
"Send captain Nanchang, Tingxi to wait for spring", and send Li Shaofu to Nanchang. It was spring, in Changting on the west side of the road. In the first couplet, the poet pointed out farewell and took care of the topic. In the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrate was called the "Mingfu" and the county commandant was called the "Shaofu". "Weicheng" is in the southeast of Huaxian County, Henan Province, so the poet called his friend "Li Weicheng Shaofu". In addition, the poet also quoted allusions related to Wei Meifu in Nanchang in the Han Dynasty, praising Li Shaofu's erudition and sage like style. One spring day, the poet bought wine in Changting to bid farewell to Li Shaofu, and his feelings of farewell were beyond words.
"Wild flowers are eager to be seen, but the birds in the forest are heard fresh." Brilliant wild flowers are spread out of sight, and the birds in the forest are pleasant. Zhuan Xu inherited the word "spring" in the first couplet, and the poet wrote the spring scenery when he left through audio-visual combination. He saw those unknown wild flowers in full bloom, as if there were a colorful quilt on the ground, with no end in sight; He heard that the birds in the forest are very happy, and their songs make people never tire of hearing them. In this couplet, the poet used the method of setting off sadness with joyful scenes and setting off sadness with beautiful scenery in spring.
"Don't drink greenway, return to Xuanbaimajin". We will send a farewell drink outside the Qing gate, and you will take a carriage to Baima Tianjin. In the neck couplet, the poet's brush strokes turned from scenery to parting. In the Han Dynasty, there was a Baqiao bridge outside Qingmen in Chang 'an, where people saw off guests and folded willows to see them off. Later, the poet used "clearing the door" to refer to the place of farewell. "White Horse Gold" is located in the north of Hua County, Henan Province, and the poet refers to Weicheng with "White Horse Gold". The poet wrote farewell words in the sentence of "no drinking" and one thing after leaving in the sentence of "returning to the porch". After a period of time, the feeling of parting is self-evident.
"Knowing each other is not far away, Wan Li is still a neighbor", and friends who know each other don't care about distance, even if they are separated from Wan Li, they are still neighbors. In the couplet, the poet ends the poem with comforting words, which is very similar to Wang Bo's "However, China keeps our friendship, and heaven is still our neighbor". The poet is an open-minded man, and he is not too sad because of his separation. Compared with the natural spatial distance, poets pay more attention to the distance between hearts. If two people are close friends, they will still be like neighbors even though they are separated from Wan Li. If two people "go their separate ways", they will still be like strangers even if they meet every day. No matter how far the distance is, it will not dilute the sincere feelings.
When he left Li Shaofu, the poet was sad because of his departure, but he contained this sadness well and expressed it tactfully. On the one hand, this is because both poets and Li Shaofu are open-minded people who can explain themselves; On the other hand, they all believe that their friendship will not fade because of distance. It is enough to have such a friend in life!
