Half the river rustles and half the river is red.
translate
A touch of afterglow sprinkled on the river, shining in the sun. Half of the river is dark blue and the other half is red. What makes people fondle admiringly is the first moonlit night when the dew falls in September. Dewdrops are like pearls, and crescent moons are like delicate bows.
Ode to Mujiang is a four-line poem written by Bai Juyi, a poet in Tang Dynasty. Written in 822 (the second year of Changqing), Bai Juyi was on his way to Hangzhou as a secretariat. At that time, the court politics was dark, and the party struggle between Niu and Li was fierce. The poet tasted the taste of being an official and asked to go abroad. This poem reflects the author's relaxed and carefree mood after leaving the imperial court. In this poem, the poet uses novel and ingenious metaphors to create a harmonious and peaceful artistic conception, and expresses his deep feelings and love for nature through chanting.
