Interpretation: Looking forward to the return of friends

original text

It's too late for the homestay master to open a room in the mountains.

The sunset passed through the mountains in the west, and the valley in Qian Shan was suddenly dark and quiet. The moon in the moon pine is refreshing at night, and the sound of the wind is particularly clear.

There is almost no firewood in the mountains, and the birds have just returned to their resting place. Ding promised to stay in the temple tonight and play the piano alone on the mountain road.

Full text interpretation: The sunset has crossed the mountains in the west, and the valley in the front mountain suddenly becomes dark and silent. According to the moon, the pine forest feels cooler at night, and the sound of wind and spring is particularly clear. The woodcutter in the mountain has almost left, and the birds in the mist have just returned to their nests to rest. Ding Da promised to stay in the temple tonight and stand alone on the mountain road waiting for you.

Appreciation of works: This poem is about the poet waiting for his friend to arrive in the mountains, but his friend still hasn't arrived. The poet touches the ethereal freely, and his brushwork is intended to outline the scenery in the mountains at dusk with great characteristics and feelings. The whole poem is full of pictures, full of aesthetic feeling, profound and endless.
