What are the poems in Guazhou?

Boarding Guazhou —— Wang Anshi in Northern Song Dynasty

Jingkou and Guazhou are just separated by a water, and Zhongshan has only a few heavy green mountains.

The gentle spring breeze turns green again, but, moon in the sky, when can you take me home?

Translation:

Standing at Guazhou Ferry, looking south, there is only one Yangtze River between Jingkou and Guazhou, and Zhongshan, where I live, is hidden behind several mountains.

The warm spring breeze once again blew the fields in the south of the Yangtze River green. When will the bright moon shine on me and return to my home at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain?

Extended data:

The first sentence in the poem "Dengguazhou" reveals a relaxed and happy mood by writing about the short distance between Jingkou and Guazhou and the fast speed of the ship. In the second sentence, the poet looks back at Zhongshan where he lives and is reluctant to part; The third sentence describes the Jiangnan scenery full of spring; Finally, I ended in a questioning tone, emphasizing my yearning for my hometown again. The whole poem is lyrical both in scenery and narrative, with an open realm and fresh style.
