Grass on the Ancient Plain(草原)in Farewell(告别)to a Friend By Bai Juyi Wild grasses spread over ancient plain; With spring and fall they come and go. Wildfire can't burn them up again; They rise when vernal(春天的)breezes blow. Their fragrance(芳香)overruns the way; Their green invades(入侵) the ruined town. To see my friend go far away; My sorrow grows like grass overgrown.
The poem“Grass on the Ancient Plain in Farewell to a Friend”is a famous poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty.Through the description of the weeds(野草)on the ancient plain,the poem expresses the feeling of farewell to a friend.His friendship is like the overgrown grass on the ancient plain.It can be seen as an ode (颂歌)to weeds and life.The first four lines focus on the beauty of the life of the weeds through time,while the second four lines focus on their beauty of one time.The poem“Wildfire can't burn them up again;They rise when vernal breezes blow.”shows a kind of“difficulty”and has been recited for thousands of years.
This poem is the author's practice work for the examination.According to the record,the author entered the capital for the first time.When he visited the famous poem Gu Kuang,he showed this poem.At first.Gu Kuang looked at the young man and said,“Living is not easy with rice prices here staving high.”Although he was joking about Bai
Juyi's name,he also meant something more:the capital was not a good place to make a living.However,after reading the two lines of“wildfire can't burned",he can't help appreciating(欣赏)it and said:“Living can be easy with great sight(洞察力).”And it was widely praised.It can be seen that this poem was thought highly of at that time.
