Mooring at Guazhou<\/p>\n

Wang Anshi (Song)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Between Guazhou and Jingkou does a river flow,<\/p>\n

And away from a few hills lies the Zhongshan Mountain.<\/p>\n

Now the vernal breeze makes green the southern shore again,<\/p>\n

But when will the silver moon with me homeward go?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Comment:<\/p>\n

Opening with the description of a vast distance over waters and hills away from home, the poem discloses the writer’s homesickness on a moonlit night. He anchors his boat at Guazhou but his home is at Zhongshan, between which stand a few mountains. However, if he resolves to return home, what of it, the few mountains? Then, he shifts from space to time: spring has arrived, greening the trees, grasses and crops along the banks, but when can I go home? By asking the moon the sad question, he expresses his nostalgia and the depths of despair at failure to return home and join his family.
