I raised my head and looked at the bright moon in the sky outside the window. I couldn't help but lower my head and think about my hometown far away.
Comments
Quiet Night Thoughts: thoughts that arise in a quiet night.
Bed: There are five theories passed down today.
One finger points to the well platform. Scholars have written articles and verified it. Cheng Shi, director of the Chinese Educators Association, wrote the research results into a paper and published it in a journal, and also created "Poetry" with his friends.
Two fingers refer to the well fence. Judging from archaeological discoveries, the earliest wells in China were wooden wells. Ancient well railings were several meters high and formed a square frame to surround the well head to prevent people from falling into the well. The square shape resembled both four walls and an ancient bed. Therefore, ancient well railings were also called silver beds, indicating that wells and beds were related, and the relationship occurred due to the similarity in shape and function between the two. In ancient times, there was a special word to refer to the well fence, that is, the word "Han".
"Shuowen" interprets "Han" as "Jingyuanye", which means well wall.
The third word "bed" is the pseudonym for "window". The word ‘bed’ in this poem is the focus of debate and dissent. We can do some basic reasoning. The writing background of this poem was on a bright moon night, probably around the full moon. The author saw the moonlight and then the bright moon, which aroused his homesickness.
Since the author looked up and saw the bright moon, it is impossible for the author to be indoors. If he looked up casually indoors, he would not be able to see the moon. Therefore, we conclude that the "bed" is an outdoor object. As for what it is specifically, it is difficult to verify. In a sense, the 'bed' may be connected to the 'window', and it is possible to see the moon in front of the window. However, referring to the Song Dynasty version, "Looking up at the moon on the mountain", it can be confirmed that the author said it is the moon outside. In terms of time, the Song Dynasty version is more reliable than the Ming Dynasty version in terms of loyalty to the author's original intention.
The original meaning of Siqi is an utensil for sitting and lying. "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Siqian" has "a bed for sleeping", and "Yi·Peeling Bed·Wang Duzhu" also has "be at peace under it" "That's what it means."
Wuma Weidu and others believe that the bed should be interpreted as a Hu bed. Hu bed is also called "hand bed", "hand chair" and "rope bed". In ancient times, a foldable and light seat was used. The function of the horse was similar to that of a small bench, but the surface on which people sat was not a wooden board, but a foldable cloth or similar object, and the legs on both sides could be closed. Modern people are often mistaken by the word "hu bed" or "bed" in ancient documents or poems. As late as the Tang Dynasty, the "bed" was still the "Hu bed" (i.e., Mazar, a kind of seat).
Doubt: It seems.
Raise your head: raise your head.

Thousands of countless pieces flew into the plum blossoms and disappeared.

Thousands of them are countless, they fly into the plum blossoms and disappear.
Appreciation
The first two sentences of the poem are written in fiction, and the last two sentences are written in reality. The contrast between virtuality and reality creates a fresh artistic conception. The first three sentences seem ordinary, lingering in the trough, but at the end of the fourth sentence, with a profound artistic conception that is suitable for both movement and stillness, the whole poem is suddenly pushed from the trough to the peak.
Almost the whole poem is piled up with numbers, from one to ten to a thousand to ten thousand to countless, but it is not cumbersome at all. Reading it makes people feel like they are in the vast sky and heavy snow, but Seeing a cold plum blossom standing proudly in the snow, fighting the cold and blooming, the snowflakes merged into the plum blossoms, and people also merged into the snowflakes and plum blossoms.
