Qí road: a fork in the road. The ancients often said goodbye to each other at fork roads.
Wet towel: Tear wet clothes and belts. It means tearful farewell.
Farewell Tang went to Shu as viceroy;
Across the wall of Sanqin, across a layer of fog, across a river.
We said goodbye sadly, and our two officials went in opposite directions.
After all, the world is just a small place.
Why are you wandering at the fork in the road? The child is holding a towel.
Translation:
Wei Chang 'an, the land of Sanqin; Far away in Sichuan, but far away.
You and I have similar fates, running around in official career, far from home.
As long as you have intimate friends, you don't feel far away within the four seas. Even at the ends of the earth, I feel like a close neighbor.
Breaking up at a fork in the road really doesn't need to be immersed in love and shed tears.
