What does the night cage in the cold water and the moon in the sand mean?

The meaning of "Ye Cong Han Shui Yue Cong Sha" is: the blurred moonlight and light smoke cover the cold water and white sand.

Cooking in the cold water at night, in the moonlight and in the sand, comes from Du Mu's "Parking in Qinhuai"

The specific original text is as follows:

Smoking in the cold water, in the moonlight and in the sand, at night in Qinhuai near a restaurant .

Shang girls don’t know the hatred for the country’s subjugation, but they still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river.

Appreciation

Du Mu, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, traveled to Qinhuai and heard a singing girl singing "Flowers in the Back Garden of Yushu". She was beautiful and flirtatious, and men and women sang to each other in a sad voice. The sound of national subjugation. At that time, empress Chen had been addicted to this sluggish life for a long time, and regarded state affairs as child's play, and finally lost his country. Although the Chen Dynasty died, the music of this kind was still passed down and was still sung by Qinhuai singers. This made Du Mu very emotional. His poem said: These ignorant singers don't even understand the hatred of country subjugation, and they still sing the sound of country subjugation! In fact, this is an excuse to play on the topic. What he is actually mocking is the politics of the late Tang Dynasty: the officials were indulged in wine and sex, and they were quickly following in the footsteps of Empress Chen. The corner of Qinhuai harbored such a deep sense of rise and fall, which shows that Jinling still had a great influence even though the national political center had moved to Chang'an at that time.
