Original word:

"Bodhisattva Man·Everyone Says Jiangnan is Good" Tang Dynasty: Wei Zhuang

Everyone says Jiangnan is good, and tourists only agree Jiangnan old. The spring water is as green as the sky, and the boat is painted and sleeping while listening to the rain.

The people beside me are like the moon, and my wrists are covered with frost and snow. Don't return to your hometown before you are old. Returning to your hometown requires breaking your heart.

Notes:

1. Tourists only like Jiangnan old people: This refers to people wandering in the south of the Yangtze River, which is what the author calls himself. Only fit: only should. Jiangnan is good: The first sentence of Bai Juyi's "Recalling Jiangnan" is "Jiangnan is good". Bi Yu Tian: A piece of green, better than the sky.

2. Longbian: refers to the restaurant. Long, in the old days, the hotel used earthen wine jars to sell wine. "Historical Records: Biography of Sima Xiangru" records that Sima Xiangru's wife Zhuo Wenjun was very beautiful and once sold wine as a bartender: "I bought a wine house and sold it, and asked Wenjun to be a bartender."

3. Hao wrists condensed with frost and snow: describes the arms as white as snow. The frost and snow are as white as the condensed frost and snow.

4. Don’t return to your hometown before you are old. Returning to your hometown must break your heart: you are not yet old, and you are enjoying yourself in the south of the Yangtze River. If you return home and leave the south of the Yangtze River, you will be extremely sad. Must: Definitely, definitely.

Interpretation:

Everyone says Jiangnan is good, which makes tourists just want to stay there until they grow old. The clear and green water of the river in spring is better than the blue of the sky. You can also fall asleep listening to the sound of rain outside on the painted boat. The woman selling wine at the Jiangnan wine cellar is extremely beautiful. When selling wine, she lifts up her sleeves and fills the wine. Her exposed wrists are as white as frost and snow. Don't go back to your hometown before you get old, otherwise you will regret it because of the war in your hometown.

About the author:

Weizhuang (about 836 - about 910), named Duanji, was a Han nationality and a native of Duling, Chang'an (near today's Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China). Tang poet and lyricist, prime minister of former Shu during the Five Dynasties. The seventh generation grandson of Wenchang Right Prime Minister Wei Daiji and the fourth generation grandson of Suzhou Governor Wei Yingwu.

Extended information:

This group of words was written when Wei Zhuang lived in Shu in his later years. It was written by the author to recall his old travels in the south of the Yangtze River. The content of this group of words is closely related to his wandering life.

The poem implicitly uses Zhuo Wenjun's classic. During the Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru, a native of Shu, eloped with Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of the wealthy Zhuo Wangsun. Because Zhuo Wangsun announced that he had severed relations with Wenjun, Sima Xiangru ordered Wenjun to be a slave and washed the wine vessels on the street while wearing shorts. Therefore, "The person by the fireside is like the moon. The bright wrists are filled with snow." The stove is the wine cellar, and the person by the fireside refers to his wife, who is the "green window person" in the previous poem.

Why doesn’t the protagonist miss this wife with a face as bright as the moon and a complexion as frosty as snow? But "Don't return to your hometown before you are old. Returning to your hometown requires breaking your heart." The ancients said that not returning to your hometown when you are rich is like walking at night in rich clothes. However, people who have accomplished nothing will only feel more depressed and sad when they return to their hometown. These two sentences have no artistic skills at all. They are purely moved by life experience and emotion, and have become famous sentences through the ages.
