Farewell to Secretary Cui
Du Shenyan
The general by royal decree
Goes to war wit his secretary.
Tents spread as far as riverside;
Flags fly over the town far and wide.
At dawn you breathe northern air drear;
At night you blow horns on frontier.
War dust will soon be swept away;
Autumn breeze will bring peaceful day.
《送崔融》是唐代诗人杜审言的一首五律。 此诗是杜审言为好友崔融而作，崔融时任唐代节度使掌书记之官。一二句以叙事方式，写友人奉命随行远征，交代送别的原因。三四句写送别的场面气魄宏大、阵势壮观。后四句写诗人设想大军到达边境后的情境，并推想此去必然扫平叛军，清除烟氛，表达了诗人对崔融的鼓励与祝愿。 全诗虚实相照，机趣盎然，格调古朴苍劲，音韵铿锵流转，在写作上善于运用衬托的手法，特别是颈联用“朔气”和“边声”来反衬唐军的威严和警觉，显得十分传神，是初唐五律中不可多得的送别佳品。
The poem “Farewell to Secretary Cui ” is a poem in five lines by Du Qianyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem was written by Du for his friend Cui Rong, who was the secretary of the Tang Dynasty. In the first two lines, he writes that his friend was ordered to accompany the expedition and explains the reason for the farewell. The third and fourth lines are about the grand and spectacular farewell scene. In the last four lines, the poet envisages the situation after the army arrives at the border, and supposes that the rebellion will definitely be eliminated and the smoke will be cleared, expressing the poet’s encouragement and wish for Cui Rong. The whole poem is full of interest, with a simple and strong tone and a resounding rhythm. It is good at using the technique of setting off, especially the neck line, which uses “the breath of the sun” and “the sound of the border” to contrast the majesty and vigilance of the Tang army, which is very evocative. It is a rare piece of farewell in the early Tang Dynasty.
