The autumn wind blows hard, and Dongting Lake seems to be aging a lot; After a night of melancholy, Xiang Jun also has more white hair.
Drunk in a boat, I saw a starry world, which seemed unreal and confusing. I wonder if the stars in the sky are reflected in the water, or am I dreaming?
Vernacular translation: autumn wind rustling, waves on Dongting Lake, as if Xiang Jun became white-haired overnight. I was drunk and couldn't tell whether it was on the lake or in the sky. I just feel that the ship is swaying on the Milky Way, with clear dreams and surrounded by stars.
Make an appreciative comment
In a word or two, the poet's deep affection for the natural scenery in front of him aroused his yearning for the people in the myth, which made his fantasy of the myth reflect the gradual deepening of the realm of the times. "The west wind blows the waves of the old Dongting Lake, and it is white and hairy to you all night." The realm in poetry is brought up by the word "old". The autumn wind is rustling and Dongting Lake is boundless. Compared with the quiet clear water in spring, that scene is a profound life on the other side of the world. The poet's thoughts and memories gradually deepened. How to explain what you think and understand, only by appealing to the white-haired yearning for you, then the realm of Jiangshan and life is so deep! Legend has it that Xiang Jun heard that Shun Di died in the wilderness of Cangwu, but he couldn't follow him. Bamboo became a spot. How is fate realized? This night, Dongting can be old, and Xiang Jun has always maintained such a situation. What can he say? With such a profound realm of enlightenment, autumn scenery, who lives in a spacious room, can be said to have met a bosom friend. My mind is heavy, I am an illusion. I was happy in the world of dawn, but this night changed the world. With god's expression, thinking in the scene and illusion are deep.
"I don't know that the sky is in the water after being drunk, and the boat is full of dreams and presses the Milky Way." The autumn wind has been long, and the scenery is gradually forgotten. Is it the stars in the sky or the stars in the water? How do you know you're drunk when you think too much at night? In the past, Du Fu was worried about Chang 'an, and his eyes were scarred. "The boat sits in the sky in spring", but he is sad that he can't live any longer, so he has no chance to get drunk and sleep peacefully. Boating a boat, dreaming, Tianhe or Xinghe, thinking or forgetting in the scenery or environment. The poet's dream, full of dreams, is the life that the poet thinks about. However, when autumn and lakes come and go, things are clear to me, Tao Ran is relaxed, and this is just quick. One or two sentences are also true and false. The more they know, the more stupid they are. Three or four sentences are centered, deep and natural. So the realm is deep, and the night is a dream. This is really a good life.

This is a quatrain with personal color and emotional appeal. Although there are only four short sentences, it is novel and unique in conception, light and romantic in style, and ethereal and fantastic in poetic realm, which is highly appreciated by critics.

Creation background
This poem is the only existing poem of this poet. There are two views on the time of his creation: the Tang Dynasty, the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.
One is the theory of the Tang Dynasty. Volume 772 of The Whole Tang Poetry contains this poem entitled "Caoqinghu Lake in Longyang County". Although the recorded author is Tang Wenru, his life experience is unknown, but it is "peerless".
His dualism in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. According to the textual research of Chen Yongzheng, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University, this poem was first included in Dajiya compiled by Lai Liang in Yuan Dynasty, named Crossing Dongting Lake, and all the works included in Dajiya were written by people in Yuan Dynasty, so this poem was written at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty. Professor Chen's views and materials are extremely informative, and the whole Tang poetry is actually a mistake.
