This sentence comes from Silent Night by modern poet Guo Moruo.
The original text is as follows:
The moonlight is faint.
Hanging over the pine forest outside the village.
White clouds,
A few scattered stars leaked out.
Where is Tianhe?
The sea fog in the distance is blurred.
Afraid that Jiao Ren would go ashore,
On the moon?
Extended data:
Silent Night was written in 192 1 year. After the May 4th Movement, the poet was in the most depressed period. At that time, Guo Moruo was studying in Japan. Facing the reality of China at that time, the poet felt disappointed and miserable. He hates the dark reality and yearns for a bright future. One night when I was studying in Japan, facing the dim moonlight, I triggered the poet's association and imagination and wrote this poem expressing endless feelings.
Li Bai's poem "Silent Night Thinking" is very famous, and it is about homesickness. Guo Moruo's Silent Night Thinking is also a daydream written in a foreign country. Probably the silence of the night is the most likely to arouse people's melancholy, resulting in the same effect of ancient and modern poets. However, the idea of this song "Silent Night" is longer, and the association is more specific. This little poem has two sections.
The first section, write the moonlight and night scene on earth. This is the poet standing on the ground writing the scenery. The scene is integrated with subjective ideas, and there is love in the scene; The scenery is not directly expressed, but lyrical. What is displayed in front of the readers is the faint moonlight, which covers the pine trees outside the village; Between the clouds in the sky, a few stars loomed.
In just four sentences, it depicts an extremely quiet and beautiful moonlit scene, bringing people into a surreal dream world. Here is the actual writing, and the expansion of the picture highlights the word "static". moon
Colors bring peace and tranquility to people. However, "static" and "nothing" are interdependent. It is this "quietness" that gives the poet an objective environment for daydreaming and embodies the poet's dazzling state of mind.
The second section focuses on describing the poet's feelings. The phrase "Where is Tianhe?" It's a rhetorical question that tells the poet's inner turmoil. Tianhe is a metaphor for the motherland. Being in a foreign country, I can't go back. Even though there are thousands of words, how to tell them can only be found in the dense sea fog. The poet looked up and saw a foggy Tianhe, which aroused the association of countless people in ancient and modern times, and the poet thought of legends and stories.
But this time the poet is no longer writing about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but about the legendary Jiao Ren. The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid may be a household name, but the legend of Jiao Ren's pearl work may not be well known. Facing the endless Tianhe River, the poet really can't see anything, just by imagination, guessing that there will be Jiao Ren floating on the moon on the shore. This is a very sad scene. At this moment when the moon is full, the poet thinks of Jiao Ren on the shore. In fact, the poet himself is thinking deeply about the moon.
The poet's sadness, helplessness and melancholy at this time have turned into lines of poems in such a bleak moonlight, which can also be regarded as the poet's "flowing clouds". Therefore, there is the poet's idea that there will be a phantom of people wandering on the moon on the seashore of a foreign country, projecting their attachment to the motherland and nostalgia for their hometown.
The language of this poem is beautiful, clear and elegant, and the beauty can be seen. The whole poem is like a landscape painting in China. In the hazy and seemingly absent lines, there is an indescribable artistic conception.
