Literal meaning of the whole poem: In the silent valley, only the sweet-scented osmanthus in spring falls silently, and in the silent night, the spring mountain is empty. The moon rises, and the moonlight shines on the earth, which alarms the birds living in the mountains and sings in the spring stream from time to time.
The whole poem is as follows: people are idle, and the night is quiet and empty. When the moon comes out, the birds are startled, and the sound enters the spring stream.
Appreciation of the whole poem:
This poem depicts the tranquility and beauty of the spring night in the mountains, with the focus on the tranquility and beauty of the spring night in the mountains. The whole poem is aimed at writing quietly, but it is handled with moving scenery. This contrast is very obvious to the poet's Zen and interest.
"When people are idle, sweet-scented osmanthus falls, and the night is quiet and the mountains are empty." They write the scenery with sound and skillfully use synaesthesia techniques to combine the dynamic scene of "flowers falling" with "people being idle". Bloom's flowers and falls belong to the sound of nature. Only when the heart is really idle and the infatuation with worldly distractions is put down can the individual spirit be promoted to the realm of "emptiness". At that time, the background was "late at night", and the poet obviously couldn't see the falling scenery of osmanthus, but because of the "quiet night" and the "meditation" of people watching the scenery, he still felt the process of blooming osmanthus falling from the branches, floating down and falling to the ground. And we seem to have entered the scenic spot of "fragrant forest and flowers and rain". The "Spring Mountain" here has left us a blank of imagination. Because it is a "spring mountain", we can imagine the noisy pictures during the day: beautiful spring, birds and flowers, laughter and laughter. At this time, the night is still, the tourists leave, the noise of the day disappears, and the mountains are idle. In fact, "emptiness" is also the poet's state of mind as a Zen monk. Only when his mood is free and easy can he capture scenes that others can't feel.
The last sentence, "Birds are startled when the moon is out, and birds are singing in the spring stream", is based on moving to write quietness, a "surprise" and a "singing", which seems to break the quietness of the night, but in fact, it sets off the quietness and leisure in the mountains with the description of sound: the moon emerges from the clouds, the quiet moonlight flows down, and several birds wake up from their sleep and whisper from time to time, echoing the thin sound of running water in the spring stream.
