The wind comes from the northwest, and the river is covered with thick ice. The sun's rays are cold and the carriage is easily toppled, and the frost and dew make the ground muddy. People at home are warming their houses, yet still haven't got up late into the day. As for the traveling guest, where will he go? His journey seems endless. Throughout his life, a man may wish to wield his sword and defend his country. How could he not be willing to live in a humble country lane? Could he really grow old in his native place? Recently, one such person left Yangzhou, and his ship was moored on the river. Fortunately, he met a kind host who prepared a banquet to entertain him and provided him with accommodation. With lights turned on in the clear night, they had lively discussions while enjoying food and drinks. Suddenly, he heard that an old friend had come, like a person who had been dying of thirst drinking strong wine. They had been separated for three years across the river, but he had been waiting at the river bank all day long. While he spoke with enthusiasm for a reunion in sight, he couldn't help laughing at unexpected situations. A chance encounter in life can also be quite unexpected and surprising. Tomorrow, he will drive away to meet his friend without waiting for his luggage. It is said that they are going to enter the city of Linhai, which is also not far now. Linhai was an ancient strong county located in the vicinity of Tianmu Mountain. The towering mountains are like Heavenly pillars towering above the sky, and magnificent palaces stand beside each other. In the east, one can see the sunrise and the three-legged sun bird flying over Fushang Tree. The blue sea covers the land, surrounding its surroundings on the east side. There are many peach blossoms on the mountain that can withstand snow and frost. I have often wanted to go to the south of that mountain, but now I can go with you as your guide with your purple banner and go visit the recluse in white robes.
《寄达兼善》一诗，以其深情厚谊与壮丽想象交织的笔触，勾勒出一幅幅生动的画面，让人仿佛穿越时空，与诗人一同经历那段旅途的艰辛与重逢的喜悦。
开篇“天风起西北，坚冰在河水”，以自然之景起兴，既描绘了冬日的凛冽与严寒，也预示着旅途的不易。随后，“日车寒易侧，霜露方泥泥”进一步渲染了旅途的艰难，日光因寒冷而显得黯淡无光，道路因霜露而泥泞不堪，为全诗定下了一个略带忧郁却又不失坚韧的基调。
“居人涂户牖，日晏犹未起”，转而写到当地人因天气寒冷而迟迟未起，与诗人作为“客子”不得不继续前行的无奈形成鲜明对比，凸显了行役的艰辛与孤独。诗人虽心怀“平生丈夫愿，剪鬌弄孤矢”的壮志，却也不免感叹“岂不甘陋巷，宁能老桑梓”，流露出对家乡深深的眷恋与不舍。
接着，诗人笔锋一转，回忆起在扬州的温馨时光：“幸逢地主贤，设摆共遮止。张灯转清夜，高论杂燕喜。”这段描述充满了欢声笑语，展现了诗人与友人相聚的欢乐场景，尤其是“忽闻故人来，如渴饮醪醴”，将重逢的喜悦比作久旱逢甘霖，情感真挚而动人。
然而，相聚总是短暂，诗人即将再次踏上旅程：“明日驱车去，不得待行李。”离别在即，诗人却并未沉浸于离愁别绪，而是转而期待与友人在临海的相见：“闻将入临海，相见亦近耳。”这里，诗人以一种超然的态度面对离别，展现出豁达的人生态度。
最后，诗人对临海进行了瑰丽的描绘：“临海古壮县，正在天姥里。大山插青天，琼台屹相倚……”这一系列壮丽的景象，不仅展现了临海的自然风光之美，也寄托了诗人对友人的美好祝愿与对未来相聚的无限憧憬。特别是“山上多桃花，雪霜摧不死”，以桃花的坚韧象征友情的永恒与不屈。
全诗以情为主线，以景为辅，情感真挚，意境深远。诗人通过对自然景物的细腻描绘，对旅途艰辛的深刻体验，以及对重逢喜悦的生动刻画，展现了人与人之间真挚的情感纽带，以及面对生活挑战时的坚韧与乐观。整首诗如同一幅流动的山水画卷，既有现实的沉重，又有理想的光辉，读来令人回味无穷。
