How to understand the meaning of the ancient poem Chai Lu?

There was no one in the lonely mountain, only a burst of voices was heard.

The afterglow of the sun returned to the depths of the forest and shone on the moss in the forest.

Chai Lu

Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei

No one can be seen in the silent valley, only the voice is heard.

The shadow of the sunset shone into the depths of the forest, and the scenery on the moss was pleasant.

To annotate ...

Luzhai (zhài): "Chai" and "Zhai" are homonyms, a fence. This is a place name.

But: only. Smell: I heard it.

Return to the scenery: the light of sunset. "Scenery" is the same as "shadow" in ancient times.

This poem creates a deep and bright symbolic realm, which shows the author's sudden enlightenment in the process of deep meditation. Although there is Zen in the poem, it does not resort to discussion and reasoning, and is completely permeated in the vivid description of natural scenery.

Wang Wei is a poet, painter and musician. This poem embodies the combination of poetry, painting and music. Based on the musician's perception of sound, the painter's grasp of light and the poet's refinement of language, it depicts the unique silence and thought-provoking moment of the empty valley people's language and oblique photos.
