Meng Haoran 《送朱大入秦》是唐代诗人孟浩然创作的一首五言绝句。这首诗写解下千金剑赠朱大，既衬托了朱大的豪侠性格和对朱大的期望，也把自己平生创建功业的壮志豪情寄托其中。首句点出友人所去，暗示朱大豪爽的性情；次句强调宝剑本身的价值以及赠剑的意义；三句写分手脱赠千金宝剑；末句语浅意深，是赠剑时的赠言，表现了双方平素的仗义。感情挚厚，神采激扬，在孟诗中别具一格。 《送朱大人入秦》 孟浩然 游人五陵去，宝剑值千金。分手脱相赠，平生一片心。 Farewell to Zhu Meng Haoran My friend will go to royal woen;My sword is worth irs weight in gold.I give it to him when he goes downTo realize his dream of old....

Meng Haoran 《送杜十四之江南》是唐代诗人孟浩然创作的一首七绝。此诗从写景入笔，通过淼茫春江与孤舟一叶的强烈对照，发出深情一问，对朋友的关切和依恋在这一问中表达得淋漓尽致。诗人遥望渐行渐远的行舟，送行者放眼天涯，极视无见，不禁情如春江，汹涌澎湃。“断人肠”将别情推向高潮，在高潮中结束全诗，离愁别恨，悠然不尽。此诗用散行句式，如行云流水，近歌行体，写得颇富神韵，不独在谋篇造语上出格，自然流畅地表现了诗人对友人的深切怀念，也体现出诗人与友人之间的真挚友谊。 孟浩然·《送杜十四之江南》 荆吴相接水为乡，君去春江正渺茫。 日暮征帆何处泊？天涯一望断人肠。 Seeing off Mr. Du to the South China Meng Haoran The land of Jing borders with kingdom of Wu by water, SpringYangtze is mist-covered when you are away, sir.
