A moon hangs over the capital, and 10,000 washing hammers are beating.
Autumn wind blows my heart, forever blowing to Yumen Pass.
Oh, when will the Tatar army be conquered and when will my husband come back from the long battle! .
note:
Midnight Wu Ge: The Song of Martial Music in Yuefu of the Six Dynasties. "The Book of Tang Dynasty": "The song of Wu at midnight is also the song of Jin. In the Jin Dynasty, there was a woman named Midnight who made such a sound, which sounded even more sad. " Yuefu solved a problem: "Future generations are more happy at four o'clock, which is called the song of four o'clock at midnight." Wu Ge at Midnight by Li Bai.
Moon: Bright moonlight.
Thousand households: thousands of households.
Mash clothes: when washing clothes, put them on an anvil and beat them with a stick.
Can't blow away: means can't blow away.
Guan Yu: Yumenguan. These two words say that the autumn wind can't dispel the inner sadness, but it reminds me of the recruitment in the distance.
Pinghulu: pacify the enemy who invaded the border.
Lover: refers to the husband stationed in the frontier. Stop: the end.
Appreciate:
Li Bai, an outstanding romantic poet, paid great attention to the reference of folk songs in the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties in his creative practice, from which he gained rich nutrition and enriched and developed his own creation. The poem Midnight Wu Ge is an example of a poet learning from folk songs and creating something.
Midnight Wu Ge is a famous love song in the South during the Six Dynasties. Many girls remember their lover's thoughts and feelings warmly and deeply, sincerely and touching. It is Li Bai who has mastered this lyrical feature and successfully described the melancholy of thinking about women in the boudoir in this poem. The words "Chang 'an" create an environmental atmosphere for lyricism. Bright moonlight sprinkled on Chang 'an, and a silver world appeared. There is a sound of beating clothes from one place to another. The clothes that beat my chest and feet contain the sincere feelings of Sifu for recruiting people. Autumn Wind is a positive lyric poem. The deep and endless feelings for Sifu can't be blown away, but it reminds her of her distant husband and increases her sadness. "Endless" is not only a burst of autumn wind, but also a long and persistent feeling. This constant feeling always flies far away, so persistent. I hope my husband will settle down in the frontier as soon as possible, return to his hometown to reunite with his relatives and live a quiet and stable life, which reflects the poet's sympathy for working women. This Yuefu poem with a strong folk song flavor is simple and natural, elegant and euphemistic, and really touching.
