What is Nanpu?

Bai Juyi

In Nanpu's bleak drudgery, the autumn wind is bleak.

Turn back immediately, my heart is broken, so I can leave and don't look back.

This farewell poem, as light as water, slowly shed a farewell feeling.

The first two sentences of the poem not only point out the place and time of parting, but also set off feelings with scenery and render a deep feeling of parting. Nanpu, the southern waterfront. The ancients often bid farewell to relatives and friends in Nanpu. "Songs of the South, Nine Songs, Jiang 'an": "Send the beautiful Nanpu." Jiang Yan's Biefu: "How painful it is to send you to Nanpu!" Therefore, "Nanpu" and "Changting" have become synonymous with farewell. The sight of "Nanpu" makes people sad. And the time to say goodbye happens to be in the autumn when the west wind blows. The autumn wind is bleak and the leaves are falling. How can this situation not make people feel sad?

Here, the words "sad" and "curled up" are used vividly. The former describes inner desolation and sadness; The latter describes the bleak and bleak autumn scenery. It is precisely because of the "sadness" in my heart when I say goodbye that I feel that the autumn wind is "curled up" more and more; The "wind" of crying further highlights the "sadness" feeling that makes people feel deeply grieved, and the two set each other off. Moreover, the tones of "sadness" and "curl" are very low. Once they overlap, they are particularly thrilling to read and in tune with people's hearts.

The last two sentences are even more affectionate and tearful. A thousand miles to send you, not never say goodbye. The final parting is the climax of farewell. The poet caught the most prominent scene at this critical moment: after breaking up, although he has left the boat, he often looks back and silently "looks". "Look" is a common action, but here and now, this kind of "look" is so unusual: from this silent "look", it reveals Qian Qian's sadness and feelings that are beyond words, which is really "silence speaks louder"! From this word "look", we seem to see a wandering figure, a sad face and tears flashing between eyelashes. His every "look" naturally made the people who saw him off "heartbroken", and his heart was bitter. The poet used two "ones" to express the parting and sincere friendship between the two sides.

Finally, the poet advised people to leave: "Don't look back when it's good." -Don't look back. This sentence seems dull at first glance, chewed carefully, but meaningful. The poet doesn't really want to leave people quickly, he just wants to control his feelings that both sides can't control, and his inner sadness is probably beyond measure.

There are only twenty words in this little poem, and the poet carefully describes the most expressive details in the farewell process. The description seems to be "in everyone's heart", such as the farewell eyes and the kind and sad words, which most people will experience personally, thus touching the readers' heartstrings, producing strong * * * sounds and rich associations, giving people a deep impression.
