(Tang) Li Shangyin
Bamboo dock is clean and clear, and acacia is separated from the city.
Autumn frost flies late, leaving dry lotus to listen to the rain.
translate
Surrounded by bamboo forests outside Luoting, the scenery outside the pavilion is completely new after the rain. Acacia love flies far away, but across a heavy high city.
The sky in late autumn is gloomy, and the season of frost flying is late. The lotus leaf in the water has withered, leaving only a few dead leaves for people to listen to the sound of raindrops dripping.

The first sentence of this poem is Luo Ting. The pavilion is set off by bamboo and clear water, which makes the poet feel far away from the hubbub.
Then he wrote about the poet's yearning for his friends. Luo Guan, where the poet is staying now, and Chang 'an, where the Cui Shi brothers are located, are separated by a heavy city. The poet's thoughts are like gossamer floating in the wind, drifting leisurely to Chang 'an, where his friends are. The poet feels lonely because of the tranquility of the realm, and is slightly disappointed because he has no friends to enjoy the victory of tranquility.
"Bamboo dock is clean and bright, and acacia is separated from the city." The first two sentences of this poem say that the pier in the bamboo forest is quiet and dust-free, and the pavilion near the water is particularly quiet. Acacia, flying over the heavy high city, flying into the distance.
The first sentence is Luo Ting. "Bamboo dock" is a hidden dock surrounded by bamboo forests; "Water sill" refers to the pavilion with railings by the water, which is the "Luoting" in the title. The clear lake and green bamboo make this pavilion look very quiet and elegant. "Dust-free" and "clean" highlight this feature of Luo Ting, and you can imagine the poet's feeling of being in it and staying away from the hubbub. A quiet and peaceful state often makes people feel comfortable; But for those who have thoughts and nostalgia, it is often a catalyst to pull their thoughts: either they feel lonely because of the tranquility of the realm, or they are disappointed because they have no good friends to enjoy the quiet victory. Although these two sentences jumped from the quiet scenery to the lovesickness after parting, they were not abrupt, because there was an internal connection between scenery and emotion. Luoting, where the poet lives now, and Chang 'an, where the Cui Shi brothers live, are separated by a high wall. The word "remote delivery" has two meanings: high and far, and the meaning of "high" is used here. "Heavy city" means high city. Miss each other deeply because of "Heavy City"; The depth of missing seems to shorten the distance between us. The poet's thoughts, like gossamer floating in the wind, float over the high city walls and float to Chang 'an, where friends are located. The word "isolation" here not only means "physical isolation", but also expresses "emotional communication" in a tortuous way. This is the wonderful use of poetic language under certain conditions.
"Autumn cloudy frost flies late, leaving dry lotus to listen to the rain." The last two sentences of the poem say that the autumn clouds last for several days, and the frost season is late. Leave the withered lotus leaves on the ground and listen to the bleak rain in the middle of the night.
The third sentence goes back to the scene in front of us: "Autumn frost flies late". It's late autumn, but it's been raining for several days, so first frost is late. The poet stayed in the rockfall pavilion during his journey. The weather in this area these days is naturally speculative, and the basis of this speculation is "autumn never leaves" and "lotus never withers" On the one hand, this sentence is the root of the previous sentence, on the other hand, it has the function of rendering atmosphere and setting off emotions. Looking around in rainy weather, people who are worried about acacia will inevitably feel more gloomy, and this emotion will in turn increase the concentration of acacia.
The last sentence is the finishing touch of the whole article. But to appreciate the interest contained in the poem, we must pay attention to the whole process from "autumn shade" to "rain" The poet thinks that autumn leaves have been tasted by rain and withered lotus leaves more than once. Autumn rain, falling on the withered lotus, makes a patchwork sound and has a beautiful taste. It seems that the weather of "autumn cloudy and frost flying late" is particularly beautiful. The withered lotus gives people a sense of ruin and has no value of "staying"; However, the arrival of autumn rain is different. I am a person who stays at home all night and misses my friends. Because I can hear the clear rhyme of autumn rain in the withered lotus, I am glad that the withered lotus has "stayed". The words "stay" and "listen" are very sad, and there is joy in meeting unexpectedly. Listening to the Sound of Rain is naturally due to staying overnight, but mainly because it contains unique artistic conception and charm. This song "Listening to the Rain" actually has a special aesthetic feeling. After listening for a long time, this monotonous and sad voice increased the loneliness of the environment, thus deepening the yearning for friends.
Shen Yifu's "Yuefu Fan Zhi" says: "Every sentence should be put out, with endless meaning and the best scene." The conclusion of this poem: "Autumn cloudy frost flies late, leaving dry lotus to listen to the rain." It is the scenery that binds feelings, which contains feelings, sounds and emotions, and the harmony of sounds, scenery and emotions leads to lingering sounds, which makes poetry chaotic and contains obscure meanings.
Although this poem vividly describes the scenery of an autumn pavilion on a rainy night, it is not a poem about scenery, but a lyric poem. What I saw and heard in Lodging in the Rockfall Pavilion was based on "cherishing my heart". The word "acacia" is slightly exposed, and the last two sentences hide the meaning of staying up all night. The poet's feelings for his friends are hidden in it, which can be said to be based on the scenery. The artistic conception of the poem is exquisite and graceful, and it contains profound artistic conception.
