Looking back at the East, my hometown is thousands of miles away, and the road is long and Xiu Yuan is awkward;

With a dragon bell on his face and dripping sleeves, tears still don't work.

On the way, I met you at once, but there was no pen and paper to repair the book;

I can only ask you to take a message and go home to report peace.

This poem was written by a poet who happened to meet an eastern practitioner who went to Chang 'an on his way to the west, which aroused the poet's infinite homesickness and expressed the poet's open, heroic and optimistic mind. The wandering journey and homesickness are fully revealed in the poem.

The language of this poem is simple and natural, full of rich frontier life flavor, with both life interest and human touch, fresh and lively, profound aftertaste, sincere and sincere. Poets are good at refining and summarizing the thoughts and words of many people by artistic means, making them typical. It shows rich charm among the people and can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time.

Writing background

According to Liu Kaiyang's Notes on the Chronology of Cen Can Poems and Chronology of Cen Can, this poem was written in 749 AD (Tianbao eight years) when the poet went to Anxi (now Kuche County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) to serve. This is Cen Can's first trip to the Western Regions as the secretary of the Gao Xianzhi shogunate. At this time, the poet was 34 years old, and he gained fame and fortune in the first half of his life, which was not satisfactory. In desperation, he went out to work. He said goodbye to his wife in Chang 'an, went on a long journey, went out of Yangguan in the west and went to Anxi.

I don't know how many days later, on the way to the western regions, he suddenly met an old acquaintance. Immediately, we talked about each other's feelings, and we were a little sad to know that the other party was going back to Beijing to report their work. At the same time, we want him to send a letter from home to Chang 'an to comfort his family and report peace. This poem describes the scene.
