Legend of Polygonum multiflorum

It is said that there was an official among the people who was about to leave home to work far away. When he was about to leave, all his good friends came to see him off.

The people seeing him off were mostly scholars and men of letters, but there were also some military officers who looked rather crude, and they did not match the literati at all. The literati all disliked this military officer, so they played a trick on him. They proposed that each of them should compose an impromptu poem and give it to the official who was about to leave. The literati thought of poems one after another and recited them. Each literati confidently composed a poem and gave it to the official.

Finally, it was the military officer's turn. The literati were all thinking that it was impossible for a military officer to compose a poem and were ready to laugh at him. Waiting to see him make a fool of himself. At this time, the military officer said: "You also write a poem to send off your old friend, and I will also write a poem to send off my old friend." These two lines of poetry sounded really vulgar, and the literati all laughed secretly.

At this time, the military officer uttered the last two lines of the poem, which shocked all the literati present: The red reed flowers south and north of the river are like the blood in the eyes of those who are separated. Although this poem sounds simple, its artistic conception is very consistent with the mood of farewell and reluctance to leave.
