Wang Wei
I leaned alone in the dense bamboo, playing the piano and humming a song.
It's too light for anyone to hear, except my partner, Mingyue.
Translation:
On a moonlit night, I sit alone in a quiet bamboo forest and occasionally play the piano or whistle. The bamboo forest is deep and unknown, but it is accompanied by the bright moon, so I take photos frequently.
Notes on the title or background of a book.
This is a poem describing the hermit's interest in leisure life. Poetry uses words to create language and scenery (secluded, deep forest and bright moon), while writing people (sitting alone, playing the piano and whistling) is extremely unremarkable. However, its beauty lies in its natural and simple style, which depicts the fresh and attractive artistic conception of the secluded forest on a moonlit night, blends the scene into one, contains the special artistic charm of beauty, and has become a masterpiece through the ages. Playing the piano and whistling reflects the silence of the bamboo forest on a moonlit night, and the darkness of the deep forest is reflected by the light and shadow of the bright moon. The surface seems dull and seemingly casual, but in fact it is ingenious.

Immediately, he was involved in joining the army for Jeju treasurer because he was forbidden to jump the yellow lion in the department. In the 14th year of Kaiyuan (726), he resigned. Later, he was appointed as the right to collect the remains. In order to supervise the remonstrance, at the age of 40, he moved to the temple to preach remonstrance. At the end of Tianbao, An Lushan captured Chang 'an, and Wang Wei was coerced by An Lushan and became his courtiers. But he didn't want to. He writes poems to express his feelings.
