中平浦号沉香遗旧恨
渡江犹忆古人心
可怜当日辞官去
虽有馨留不易寻
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
The poem recalls Wu Yinzhi's departure and the story behind Chenxiangpu, then finds the lingering fragrance difficult to trace. The aromatic wood also evokes the memory of integrity, making this a reflection on upright conduct rather than nostalgia alone.
The central idea
The lingering fragrance evokes an influence left by integrity rather than possession. It values a choice that can be made with a clear conscience, without reading real gains or losses as moral rewards and punishments.
