We used to be companions on the Jiang and the Han, and as often as we met, we were likely to be tipsy.
Since we left one another, floating apart like clouds, ten years have run like water-till at last we join again.
And we talk again and laugh again just as in earlier days, except that the hair on our heads is tinged now with grey.
Why not go home? There are autumn mountains in Huaishang.
In any case, it is always a pleasant thing to meet the old in a foreign land, because the old evokes memories of the happy past, but at the same time, sadness will follow. What is it? Therefore, although times are different, the rapid passage of time and the vagaries of life cast a shadow on the meeting at this time. Therefore, such a meeting is bound to be happy and sad, sad and happy, sad and happy, and the entanglement is difficult to solve. This poem by Wei Yingwu really shows this kind of emotional experience incisively and vividly, and it is very touching to read.
At the beginning of the poem, the author wandered away from his present place, recalling the scene of returning to the old friend when he was a guest in Jianghan area of Liangzhou. And among these numerous contacts, the author only chose the detail of "getting drunk" to write, which highlighted the free and easy act in life at that time. Zhuan Lian traces his later life from two aspects: time and space. The technique is to express feelings in narration or to express feelings in narration. This couplet seems to be read as: a cloud after parting, flowing water in ten years. After a farewell, life is as erratic as clouds, with the meaning of regretting the past. In ten years, life flies away like running water, with the short life and the thought of happiness. If the two sentences of "one farewell" and "ten years" are completed in one go, the above connotation will be more understood. The third joint deeply regrets that although the laughter at this time is the same as in the past, after all, the two sides have already lost their temples, and it is very unlikely that they will want to do so again someday, right? Therefore, today's reunion is precious. In this way, the whole poem naturally transits from the past to the present. Now that my temples are thin and my days are numbered, why not go back to Jianghan and stay in Huaishang? The reason is that "there are autumn mountains on Huai River". What is the reason why "Autumn Mountain" has such charm for the author? Because "there are many mangroves in the autumn mountain" (Wei Shi's "Climbing the Building"). In this way, on the one hand, I gently point out the topic of poetry, on the other hand, I borrow my own moral integrity from the dark situation of autumn mountain mangroves. In this case, Jianghan's old friends and themselves don't have to be too sad about being separated from the twilight of life. I feel that the atmosphere is different from before, and the style of the whole poem also depends on this to improve. This ending has an endless aftertaste and is worth chewing.
Good meaning, but there are no mountains in Huai. (Shen Deqian's Poems of Tang Dynasty) Ji Yun: The Garden of Qing Dynasty can be recited. (On the Review of Ying Kui's Law and Essence)
