Source: Wang Jian, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, "Looking at the Moon for Fifteen Nights".
Original: Bai Shu crow in the atrium, Coody Leng osmanthus. I don't know who Qiu Si will meet tonight.
The mid-autumn moon shines in the yard, and the ground seems as white as a layer of frost and snow. The birds in the tree stopped making noise and fell asleep. Late at night, the cold autumn dew quietly wet the osmanthus in the court. The bright moon is in the sky tonight, and people are enjoying the moon. I wonder whose home is the vast Qiu Si?
About the author: Wang Jian (768-835), born in Yingchuan (now Xuchang, Henan), was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. I was born in poverty, and I was down and out all my life. He once joined the army and began to be an official at the age of 46. He used to be Xiancheng and Taichang Temple Cheng. Later, this was Sima of Shaanxi Province, and he was called Wang Sima. Yuefu is as famous as Zhang, and is known as Yuefu in the world.
His poems have a wide range of themes, sympathize with the sufferings of the people, have a strong flavor of life and profound thoughts. He is good at selecting people, events and environments with typical significance for artistic generalization, reflecting the reality vividly and exposing contradictions.
This poem was written by the poet when he got together with friends in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The title of this poem is "Full Moon and Fifteen Nights, Sent to Du Langzhong", which shows that it is for Du, a good friend. The title of the original poem says, "I want to play the piano while I am young", which shows that good friends get together on holidays, instead of singing a solo.
Bai Shu Crow in the Atrium clearly describes the environment of enjoying the moon, but secretly writes the modality of the characters, which is refined and implicit. This sentence is like the first sentence in Ma Zhiyuan's "Tianjingsha Qiu Si". With the help of unique scenery, it suddenly pushes the bleak and desolate scene to the readers, giving people an unforgettable impression.
"Coody Leng Silent Wet Osmanthus fragrans", after the last sentence, further exaggerates the Mid-Autumn Festival night with the help of feelings. This poem was written because Gui Xiang attacked people. Among osmanthus fragrans, Gui Xiang is the most abundant in autumn.
On the bright moon, the shadows of some circular volcanoes are endowed with beautiful images by imaginative people, saying that they are osmanthus trees in the moon palace, and there are also legends that osmanthus trees on earth are generated by seeds falling from the sky (Song Lingyin Temple's "The laurel tree falls on the moon and the fragrant clouds float outside").
"I don't know who Qiu Si will fall into tonight." These two sentences were written suddenly, from the author's group of people watching the moon to the people watching the moon all over the world, from the activities of enjoying the moon to the thinking of people and the future, the artistic conception is broad and implicit. How many people in the whole world are looking at the moon and thinking about their relatives: people in their hometown miss their relatives far away, and those who leave home look at their relatives far away. So, naturally, sing these two sentences.
