A night-mooring near maple bridge in Tang Dynasty-Zhang Ji
Crows fell on the moon, crowed coldly, slept on maple trees, and slept in fishing lanes by the river.
In the lonely Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou, the bell that rang in the middle of the night reached the passenger ship.

The moon has set, crows crow with autumn frost all over the sky, and maple trees by the river are sleepy. The lonely and quiet Hanshan ancient temple outside Gusu City, the bell melodiously spread to the passenger ship in the middle of the night.
The bell in Qiao Feng refers to the bell in Hanshan Temple. In addition, there are homesickness on behalf of foreign guests, not just the implication of the bell itself. In modern times, many people from all over the country and Japanese tourists have come here to listen to the New Year's bell on New Year's Eve, which has become a beautiful conversation material.

According to? According to Volume III of Biography of Talented Scholars in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Ji was promoted by Yang Jun, assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, in the 12th year of Tianbao (753), which means he was admitted as a scholar. In January of the 14th year of Tianbao, the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and in June of the 15th year of Tianbao, Xuanzong rushed to Shu. Because the political situation in Jiangnan was relatively stable at that time, many scribes fled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to avoid chaos, including Zhang Ji. One autumn night, the poet anchored at Fengqiao outside Suzhou. The beautiful scenery of autumn night in Jiangnan water town attracted this traveler with travel worries, which made him appreciate a poetic beauty with meaningful feelings and wrote this poem with clear artistic conception.
