下下他邦远历佩鱼肠
谁料徐君意欲将
既返愿为相赠答
且悬树下表情长
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
A traveler notices Lord Xu’s interest in his sword and intends to give it on his return. In the traditional story, Lord Xu has died by then, so the sword is hung on a tree beside his grave. The poem holds lasting sincerity together with a meeting that can no longer take place.
The central idea
The intended gift survives, but the meeting it was meant for is no longer possible. The hanging sword holds fidelity alongside regret. Sincere care does not guarantee the hoped-for outcome, yet a feeling can still be honored when a missed moment cannot be restored.
