Yuan Zhen

Once the ocean is short of water,

Amber forever.

Looking back at the flowers lazily,

Half the sky is cultivated, half the sky is a gentleman.

After experiencing the magnificence of the sea, you won't be attracted by the water from other places. I am intoxicated in Wushan's dream of sex rain, and the scenery elsewhere is not called sex rain. Although I often walk through the flowers, I have no intention of enjoying them, partly because I was a monk and partly because I only have you in my heart ... This further explanation is. Obsessed with the ocean you love and intoxicated with your dreams, I will no longer be interested in other women. No one can love you as much as you do. You are the best. No one can replace you after you leave. No matter how beautiful other women are, I am not in the mood to love, because there is only one you in my heart. ...

The author compares his dead wife and his feelings for his dead wife to the most beautiful sea and the cloud where Wushan becomes a goddess. In contrast, any water or cloud is dark and pale. It is precisely because he has such a deep nostalgia for his dead wife that he turns a blind eye to other women (taking flowers as a metaphor), and even if he sees them, he is indifferent and bored, not to mention lingering thoughts. In this poem, the poet uses things as metaphors.

This quatrain by Yuan Zhen is not only highly figurative and lyrical, but also excellent in writing. The first two sentences are written in extreme metaphors to remember and mourn. The words "the sea" and "five clouds" are magnificent, and there is a great trend of lamenting the rivers. The last two sentences of "lazy comment" and "half-assed gentleman" suddenly eased the language situation and turned into profound lyricism. The whole article is easy and changeable, forming a ups and downs melody. As far as the artistic conception of the whole poem is concerned, it is romantic but not vulgar, magnificent but not flashy, tragic and not deep, which creates the realm of absolute victory in the quatrains of mourning in the Tang Dynasty. In particular, "once the sea was difficult for water, it was amber forever." The two sentences that have been recited by people are not only good sentences in Yuan Zhen's poems, but also poems about love are rarely compared with Tang poetry and Song poetry.
