Smoke cage ② cold water moon cage sand,
Stop near Qinhuai restaurant at night.
Businesswoman (3) doesn't know national subjugation and hatred,
Singing "* * * flowers" across the river.
-Don? ? Du Mu
Note 1 Qinhuai: Qinhuai River.
2 cage: shrouded.
(3) Business girl: a girl who sings.
④ River: This refers to Qinhuai River. * * * Flower: the abbreviation of the dance music "Yushu * * * Flower". When the Southern Dynasty (Chen) was in Jinling, he was dissolute and corrupt, ignored the affairs of the state, and ordered people to make this dance music for drinking and having fun. Finally, the people who died in the country regarded it as the voice of national subjugation.
Light smoke covers cold water, moonlight covers white sand,
In the evening, the ship docked at the restaurant on the bank of Qinhuai River.
Singers don't know what the hatred of national subjugation is.
Across the river, I sang the flowers of Yushu.

Appreciating Du Mu's Life The internal and external troubles of the late Tang Dynasty empire were very serious, but the ruling class ignored the people's lives and lived a life of drunkenness and dreaminess all day. Du Mu stayed at Qinhuai overnight, and when he heard the singer singing, he felt worried about the country and the people. Things like "smoke", "cold water", "moon" and "sand" in the first sentence look sad and hazy under the rendering of the word "cage" "Sleeping at Qinhuai Restaurant" describes the activities of characters in a foggy and cold environment, laying the groundwork for the following business women to sing the sad song of national subjugation, which corresponds to the topic of "Sleeping at Qinhuai". The "businesswoman" here refers to a singer. No matter what the national situation is, the singer still sings the song of national subjugation "Yushu Flowers". This sentence seems to be criticizing the singer, but it is actually denouncing the fatuous court at that time, because the rulers at that time were still indifferent to the disaster of national subjugation and lived a dissolute life every day. The whole poem expresses the author's thoughts and feelings of worrying about the country and the people in a sad atmosphere.

Qinhuai River extended reading
Qinhuai River is the cradle of ancient civilization in Nanjing. As early as the Stone Age, there were human activities in the basin. In ancient times, Qinhuai River was a tributary of the Yangtze River. In the new era, the dense population and developed economy along the coast gave birth to the ancient culture of Nanjing, which is called "the mother river of Nanjing". After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it gradually declined, but it attracted countless literati and poets to pay tribute here, lamenting that "the old Wang Xietang died in front of Yan and flew into the homes of ordinary people". In the Song Dynasty, it gradually recovered as the cultural center of Jiangnan. Ming and Qing Dynasties were the heyday of Shili Qinhuai. The most famous scenery in Qinhuai is the lantern boat, and all the boats on the river are hung with colored lights. People who visit Qinhuai River must take the lantern boat as the fastest.
