[Tang] Liu Changqing
The setting sun is far away, the weather is cold and the house is poor.
Chai Men heard dogs barking and went home on a snowy night.
Translation:
When dusk falls on the mountain, the farther the journey is, and the thatched cottage looks poorer in cold weather.
Suddenly there was a dog barking outside Chai Men, and the family who stayed at home on a snowy night came back.
Appreciate:
This poem depicts a picture of a snowy night. The first two sentences, what the poet saw and felt in the mountain village. The "sunset" in the first sentence indicates the time: evening. "Cangshan is in the distance" is what the poet saw on his way through the snow. Overlooking the green hills, the clouds are lingering, suggesting the hardships of trekking and the desire to stay for a long time. The next sentence "cold weather, poor house" points out the place to stay. "White house is poor in cold weather": the humble hut of the host family is poorer in cold winter. The words "cold", "white" and "poor" set each other off in interest, rendering the atmosphere of poverty and innocence and embodying the poet's unique feelings.
The last two sentences describe the poet after living in his master's house. "Chai Men smells dogs barking." The poet went into the hut and went to bed. Suddenly, he heard a dog barking on the sofa. The poet guessed that Albert Venn Dicey, the cloak master of Furong Mountain, had returned. From the perspective of listening and listening, these two sentences show a scene in which a dog calls people back.
This poem, with an extremely concise pen, depicts a picture of a cold mountain staying, a tourist staying at dusk and a snowman as the material. Poetry is written in the order of accommodation. Expressed the poet's sympathy for the poor life of working people.
