A Farewell Song Wang Wei
⑴No dust is raised on the road wet with morning
⑵The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.
⑶I invite you to drink a cup of wine again.
West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen. (Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
With the temperature rising, spring is a good time to go out and travel far away. Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei bid farewell to his friend in this season. The poem A Farewell Songdescribes his experience. On a spring rainy morning, Wang has to say goodbye to his friend Yuan Er who would leave for a faraway place called Anxi, in today's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. Wang hopes that his friend Yuan will safely return from Anxi, although he knows that they might not see each other again. Even with this knowledge, the poet is not willing to show much sorrow or sadness for Yuan's departure(离开). Instead, he wants to take the time to treasure their friendship and invites Yuan to drink a cup of wine. In the poem, Wang uses the skill of exchanging roles. On the surface, the poet says goodbye to his friend. But the fact is that the two likely have no chance to see each other again. So it is that Yuan says goodbye to the poet as well.
Wang Wei is considered one of the greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty, along with Du Fu and Li Bai. Of the three, Wang Wei was the only one who had a successful career in the bureaucracy
(官场). When he was free, he spent much time in the countryside thinking about nature. Wang is best known for describing quiet scenes of water and mist, with few details and little human presence. He has been praised for "putting painting into his poetry and poetry into his painting".
