Night tour of Chengtian Temple
Su Shi? Song dynasty
Genpox, on the night of October 12, 2006, took off his clothes and went to bed. He just saw the moonlight on the door and got up happily for a walk. Thinking that there was no one to play with, I went to the Tianhou Palace to find Zhang Huaimin. People didn't sleep, so we walked in the yard together. The courtyard is as empty as water, and the algae and grass in the water are intertwined and covered with bamboo and cypress. What night is there no moonlight? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? It's just the lack of free people like us.

On the night of 2006 10/2, I was just about to undress and fall asleep when I saw the moonlight shining through the portal, so I got up and went out happily. Considering no one to play with me, I went to Chengtian Temple to find Zhang Huaimin. Zhang Huaimin hasn't slept yet, just taking a walk in the yard. The moonlight shines as clear and transparent as clear water in the yard. Algae and water plants crisscross, which turned out to be the shadows of bamboo and cypress trees in the courtyard. When is there no moon? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? It's just the lack of idle people like us.

Thoughts and feelings
The feelings expressed in Night Tour in Chengtian Temple are subtle and complicated, including the sadness of relegation, the feeling of life, the joy of enjoying the moon and the leisure of walking. When the author "undressed and wanted to sleep", he "entered the house by moonlight", so he "set off happily". Moonlight is rare and can't help but make people happy. However, no one enjoyed the moon with him, so he had to go to Zhang Huaimin and he was demoted. How much demeaning sadness and perception of life! Two people strolled in the atrium, which was very leisurely. Compared with "idle people", it contains all the meanings. The vivid description of the transparent and wonderful moonlight reveals the author's special mood, which is self-adaptive and self-contemptuous, although he has subtle feelings in belittling. Expressed the author's love for moonlight, expressed the author's self-explanation, self-pride, self-mockery, longing and appreciation of natural life, and despised and satirized the "idle people" with "busy people" (court officials).
Creation background
This article was written in the sixth year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong (1083). At that time, the author had been exiled to Huangzhou for four years. In Huangzhou, he served as Ying Yong's assistant, but he was not allowed to "sign books to do business", that is to say, he was an idle official with positions but no rights. In this case, the author wrote this essay, describing the scenery of the moonlit night beautifully and recording a fragment of his life at that time.
Make an appreciative comment
The article gives a wonderful description of the moonlit scenery and truly records the author's life when he was relegated to Huangzhou. This also reflects his deep friendship with Zhang Huaimin and his infinite affection for a few intimate 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 and concise, starting at the right time and ending at the right place, like flowing water, in one go.
