Translation

The bright moon is as white as frost, the good wind is as cool as clear water, and the autumn night scene is infinitely quiet. . In the winding canals, fish jumped out of the water, and dewdrops fell with the wind on the round lotus leaves. However, in the dead of night, no one saw such beautiful scenery. The sound of the drums at midnight resounded through the night sky, and a leaf quietly fell to the ground. The soft sound shocked my dream. The night was dark, and I could no longer see the scenery at dusk. After I woke up, I searched everywhere in the small garden.

The wanderer who has been away from home for a long time is already tired. He looks at the way back in the mountains and misses his hometown. Seeing that the Yanzi Building is now empty, the beautiful lady Panpan is no longer there, and the whispering swallows are left in the painting hall in the building. Everything in ancient and modern times is in vain. How many people can still wake up from their dreams? Some are just old love and new grudges that are difficult to deal with. There will be people in future generations who will sigh deeply for me when facing the night of Huanglou. Appreciation

The first film is about waking up from a dream, the night is silent, the moon is as bright as frost, in the winding pond, fish jump out of the water, and crystal dewdrops roll down on the round lotus leaves. At the third watch, in the dead of night, a leaf falling to the ground made a clanging sound. I woke up from my dream. In the dark night, I walked through the small garden looking for the old dream, but found it nowhere. When writing about night scenes, the slight sounds at night are used to set off the silence at night. When writing about dreams, they are only described in one sentence: "The dream clouds are startled". There is nowhere to look for the dream, and I can't help but feel sad.

In the second part, I wrote that I, a "tired guest from the end of the world", was awakened by the sound of autumn in the quiet night, only to see "the swallow tower was empty", and felt infinite melancholy. Then the story of Zhang and Guan Panpan elicited infinite deep emotions about the entire human history. The old things in Yanzi Tower have passed away like a dream, but the joy and resentment of countless generations throughout the past and present are not the same as it. Like a series of continuous dreams? If people in the world don't understand this, it's like they haven't woken up from a dream. And the poet himself, who has awakened from the dream, and the sigh of life he feels here and now, in the eyes of future generations, isn't it also a dream? This profound thinking about life shows Su Shi's inner doubts and confusion about the entire human history, and his anxiety about the universe, life and the entire social process. Combined with the actual situation, he expresses his longing to return, feeling sad when he touches the scene, and feeling nostalgic for the past but sad for the present. The language is highly concise and summarized. Only three sentences of "The Swallow Tower is empty" can tell everything about Zhang Jianfeng (as Zhang). The description is picturesque, full of emotion, and has a strong lyricism. The low and sentimental mood is the artistic reflection of the poet's tiredness of officialdom in his lyrics. The broadness of the realm of poetry and the broadness of the subject matter are also manifestations of the poet's boldness in introducing society, history and philosophical thinking about life into his poetry.

Creation Background Appreciation

The above poem describes a quiet dream and the feeling of loss after waking up from the dream.

The first sentence writes that the moon is bright, as bright as frost; the autumn wind is gentle and cool as water, leading people into an infinitely quiet realm.

Until the end of the day, I feel very homesick. This sentence has a deep sense of life experience, expressing the poet's infinite sadness and lamentation. Du Fu once said in a poem: "When you climb up to the sky, you will enter your hometown with spring."

The poet melted scene, emotion, and reason into one furnace, and developed layers of stories around the Yanzi Tower.

Su Shi Returned to his hometown in one fell swoop with brush feathers and ripples. The imperial hometown is three thousand miles away, lost in the blue clouds. Three hundred thousand people were recruited in Qili, and they looked back at the bright moon for a while. The sky is vast and the feeling of hometown is strong. Just when I saw the bright moon coming over the empty river, the clouds and water were vast and the river road was lost. Where can I get the hometown letter? Return to Yanluoyang. There is a sound of Wuye, a sound of autumn, a little bit of banana, a little sadness, and the third watch returns to the dream after the third watch. The country is really worthy of love, and the time is fleeting. As soon as I left the isolated country, I longed to return but always sighed. It's desolate to meet the old and the young again in my hometown. But I am afraid that other places are better than my hometown. There are carriages and horses at the gate, and they are talking about their hometown. There are mountains all around the country in the white sky. During the Qingming Festival, no one will miss home. I thought about returning the wine several times, and put it on the clouds to wish the concubine Ming. Even more so when the sun sets on the bank of the river, and there are traces of heartbroken smoke and willows. In the broken heart of my hometown, wicker branches are new day and night.
