Li shangyin

Why did you have trouble traveling when you were young? You wanted to travel to the west for the sake of the East.

A snow wave roared in Wuxia Gorge, and thousands of miles of fire clouds burned Yizhou.

How lonely the boss is? Wine has always been romantic.

Huanhua stationery paper is peach-colored, and good poems sing jade hooks.

Simplified translation:

This poem was written in March of the first year of Dazhong. Li Shangyin went to Guilin and passed through Jiangling.

You have to go to the East, but you have to be amazing, so you are young and you have a sad feeling.

You see, from now on, to the west, the water of the Yangtze River roared in Wuxia with white waves like a long dragon; In the hot summer sky, red clouds that span thousands of miles seem to burn in Yizhou.

When you arrive in Xichuan, you can live an elegant life by selling hexagrams, like Gao Zun in the Han Dynasty, or you can drink as much as you like.

In the evening, you can write poems and recite beautiful new moons with pink stationery to express your thoughts.

Context analysis:

This farewell poem, through the description of the scenery sent elsewhere and the imagination of the elegant life after arriving in Xichuan, encourages friends not to worry about traveling and expresses deep blessings and homesickness.

The first is the pipelined syntax of causality. The first sentence is "topic" and "fruit", and the second sentence is "answer" and "cause", pointing out that friends are worried about traveling because they want to travel to the west.

Zhuan Xu didn't write down his thoughts along the first couplet, but wrote from the beautiful scenery to comfort his friends. The last sentence is visual and auditory, comparing the water of the Yangtze River in Wuxia to the roar of a long white dragon, which not only writes the magnificence of Wuxia, but also puns the surging mood of friends. The next sentence is visual, using metaphor and exaggerated rhetoric grammar, comparing the red cloud in the sky to a fire cloud, exaggerating that the length of the red cloud is thousands of miles, which has burned to Yizhou.

Necklace is a pen of imagination, which describes the life of friends after their surprise victory. Two allusions are used, one is "loneliness in the boss" and the other is "romance in the wine". Comparing Friends with the nobility, respect and dignity of the Han Dynasty, we praise their talents on the one hand, and encourage them to live a leisurely life on the other.

The tail couplet continued to write about the imaginary life of Xichuan. The meaning of "Huan Hua Jian", "Peach Blossom Color" and "Jade Hook" is different, and they all have the meaning of acacia. Therefore, this couplet encourages friends to sing poems and chant the moon at night, which secretly expresses their endless love for each other.

This poem uses flowing sentence patterns and rhetorical grammar such as metaphor, exaggeration and allusions to express the meaning of comforting friends' feelings and loving each other deeply. Although it is a farewell poem, it is not as lonely and sad as a farewell poem, and the meaning of acacia is really unique.
