Appreciation

　　This is a farewell poem, and the poet alleviates Chai Shiyu's sorrow through optimistic and cheerful poetry. In fact, I am very sad. This lyrical approach of "the Tao is clear but sunny". It can also express the poet's strong sorrow.

　　"Yuanshui Tongbo to wugang, send the jun does not feel that there is a wound", pointed out the place where the friend wants to go, the tone is smooth and brisk, "flowing water" and "tongbo" are down, it seems that the rivers are connected, the road is not difficult, plus a "connection" word, but also gives people a sense of proximity between the two places, which is a posture for the next sentence. Although Longbiao and Wugang are "connected" to each other, they are after all "two townships" separated by mountains and waters.

　　"The green mountains are the same as the clouds and rain, and the bright moon and He were once two townships." Using dexterous brushwork, a sentence of affirmation, a cross-examination, repeated greetings, earnest and touching. It also took on one or two sentences, expressing the poet's longing for it. If the first sentence of the poem is intended to show that the two places are similar, then these two sentences are the same as the clouds and rain, and the bright moon is seen together, and this kind of poetic sentence that is wonderful is full of rich lyrical charm and has its distinct personality.

　　Readers can feel that the poet may not have "departed from the wound", but in order to comfort his friends, he can only suppress the "departed wound" from the bottom of his heart and not let his "departed wound" infect the other party. It is more likely that the other party has shown a "parting" feeling, so that the poet who works on intentions and is good at romance uses optimistic, cheerful and affectionate language to alleviate the other party's sorrow. It's a more thoughtful, more touching friendship. It is precisely in this way that "sending the jun does not feel that there is a separation", which can make people feel incomparably kind and rare affection.

　　This poem creates various images through imagination, in order to transform "far" into "near" and "two townships" into "one township". The meaning is novel and unexpected, but it is also reasonable, because it implies the deep friendship between people divided into two places and the same heart. And this friendship is also the seed of lovesickness. Not to mention that the green mountains, clouds, rain, and bright moon nights can arouse the poet's thoughts of his friends, on the one hand, he is relieved of his friends, and on the other hand, he has infiltrated the deep friendship and the thoughts of the farewell into the words.
