A night-mooring near maple bridge is a poem written by Zhang Ji, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he passed through Hanshan Temple after the Anshi Rebellion. In this poem, the poet accurately and delicately tells the observation and feelings of a passenger liner who sleeps at night on the night scene in late autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, and outlines the scenes of the moon setting, frosty night, fishing in the river, solitary boat passengers and so on. In addition, this poem also fully shows the author's yearning for travel, his worries about his home country, and his worries about being in troubled times and having no home. It is a masterpiece of writing troubles.
This poem is vivid, emotional and picturesque. The logical relationship between sentences is very clear and reasonable, and the content is easy to understand. Not only China's poetry anthology and Tang poetry anthology were selected into this poem, but also the primary school textbooks in some Asian countries included this poem. Hanshan Temple has also become a tourist attraction because of the wide spread of poetry.
Full text of the original poem:
Crows fell on the moon, crowed coldly, slept on maple trees, and slept in fishing lanes by the river.
In the lonely Hanshan Temple outside Suzhou, the bell that rang in the middle of the night reached the passenger ship.
