The empty mountains are bathed in a new rain, and feel the early autumn at night.
The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks.
The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe.
Spring spring might as well give it a rest, and the autumn sun can stay on the hills for a long time.
Translation:
After the new rain, the valley is empty and fresh, and the weather is particularly cool in early autumn and evening.
The bright moon reflects the quiet pine forest, and the clear spring water flows on the rocks.
There was a noise in the bamboo forest, and I knew it was the girl who came back from washing clothes. The lotus leaf swayed and I knew it was a canoe.
Although the flowers and plants have disappeared in spring, the autumn scenery in front of me is enough for me to linger for a long time.
Autumn Night in the Mountain is a poem by Wang Wei, a poet in Tang Dynasty. It depicts the beautiful scenery of the mountain village and the simple fashion of the villagers in the evening after the rain in Chu, Qing and autumn, and shows the poet's satisfaction with pastoral life and seclusion. The whole poem perfectly combines the cool autumn after the rain in an empty mountain, the light of the bright moon among pine trees, the sound of clear spring on the stone, the laughter of happy women returning to the bamboo forest and the dynamic harmony of fishing boats crossing the lotus, giving people a rich and fresh feeling.
Poetry appreciation
This poem is a masterpiece of landscape painting. The whole poem is not only like a fresh and beautiful landscape painting, but also like a quiet and beautiful lyric music, which embodies the creative characteristics of painting in Wang Wei's poems.
The first part is about autumn scenery in the mountains after the rain. Because there are few people here, naturally some people come from Toyama. The word "empty mountain" points out that this place is like a paradise. At the beginning of Shan Yu, everything was new, and it was early autumn evening. It is conceivable that the air is fresh and the scenery is wonderful.
It is already dark, but there is a bright moon in the sky; The flowers have withered, but there are pine trees covered. The mountain spring is clear, flowing through the rocks, like a pure white plain, shining in the moonlight, what a quiet and clear natural beauty! These two sentences are picturesque, free and easy, and have little strength.
Poets in the Necklace Couplet wrote "Bamboo Noisy" first, and then "Lotus Moving", because Huan's daughter was hidden in the bamboo forest, and the fishing boat was covered by lotus leaves. At first, I didn't see it. When I heard the noise of the bamboo forest and saw the lotus leaves, I found the Huannv and the Lotus Boat. This writing is more realistic and poetic. This harmonious and beautiful picture of life reflects the poet's longing for a leisurely life, and at the same time, it also sets off his aversion to dark officialdom from the opposite side. These two sentences are cleverly written, but the pen does not show traces, which makes people feel unique.
