The title of the poem is also called "Farewell", and later it was composed by musicians, named "Yangguan Sandie", also known as "Weicheng Qu". It was made about before the An Shi Rebellion. Anxi, the abbreviation of Anxi Duhu, which was established by the central government of Tang Dynasty to govern the western regions, is located in Qiuci City (now Kuqa, Xinjiang).
