On the evening of 2006 10 12, Yuan Feng undressed and got ready for bed. The moonlight shone through the window, so she got up and went out happily. I thought no one was having a good time, so I went to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin. Huai Min didn't sleep, and walked with them in the yard. There seems to be a pool of clear water in the yard, and the water plants are swaying alternately, which is probably the reflection of bamboo, pine and cypress. Which night is there no moon? Where is there no pruning of bamboo, pine and cypress? It's just that there are no idle people like us.
Night Tour in Chengtian Temple is an ancient prose written by Su Shi, a writer in Song Dynasty. The article gives a wonderful description of the moonlit scenery and truly records a fragment of the author's life in Huangzhou. This also reflects his deep friendship with Zhang Huaimin and his infinite affection for several bosom friends. At the same time, he also expressed his depression and self-abandonment, and showed his optimistic attitude towards life.
The full text is sincere, concise and meaningful, starting from when and ending at when, like flowing water, in one go. The author uses "clear water" to compare the clarity and transparency of moonlight in the courtyard, and "algae crossing" to compare the beautiful reflection of bamboo and cypress under the moon. It is not new to describe the moon with water. What is novel is that the author does not use ordinary similes, but uses metaphors as a warning, creating an illusion of water accumulation in the courtyard.
