Farewell on River Yi
Luo Binwang
The hero left his friend
With angry hair on end.
The martyr’s now no more,
The waves cold as of yore.

《于易水送人》是唐代文学家骆宾王创作的一首诗。此诗描述作者在易水送别友人时的感受，并借咏史以喻今。前两句通过咏怀古事，写出作者送别友人的地点；后两句是怀古伤今之辞，抒发了作者的感慨。全诗构思巧妙，语言含蓄，寓意深远，感情强烈，笔调苍凉。
A poem written by Luo Binwang, a literary scholar of the Tang Dynasty, is entitled “Farewell to a Friend at Yi Shui”. The poem describes the feelings of the author when he was bidding farewell to his friend at Yishui, and uses the chanting of history as a metaphor for the present. The first two lines of the poem describe the place where the author saw off his friend by chanting about ancient events; the second two lines are words of nostalgia and sadness, expressing the author’s emotion. The poem is cleverly conceived, the language is subtle, the meaning is far-reaching, the feelings are strong, and the tone is bleak.
